Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower—but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, all in all,
I should know what God and man is.
“Flower in the Crannied Wall“
Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1863

Now, retired from teaching out loud, I silently share my thoughts with anyone who wants to listen.
