WALKING IN THE WOODS . . . . . . .

I was reminded of a quotation on the Canongate Wall of the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh where snatches of poetry and other quotations are chiselled into stone from all over Scotland.
Being a thrawn devil and fond of wild wet weather I was taken by a quotation from;
"Inversnaid " by Gerald Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) which runs as follow:
"What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."
This is not of course Inversnaid but it catches I hope the wildness and wet
