"I say more: the just man justices, keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces. Acts in God’s eye what in God’s eye he is – Christ – For Christ plays in ten thousand places, Lovely in limbs and lovely in eyes not his, To the Father, Through the features of men’s faces.”

Gerard Manley Hopkins 1844-1889
