No Worst There Is None Pitched Past Pitch Of Grief
No worst, there is none.
Pitched past pitch of grief,
More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring.
Comforter, where, where is your comforting?
Mary, mother of us, where is your relief?

Fury had shrieked 'No ling-ering!
Let me be fell: force I must be brief'. O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed.
Hold them
May who ne'er hung there.
Nor does long our
Durance deal with that steep or deep.
Here! creep,
Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind:
Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
