P.S. I beg your pardon(s) on the url for the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem; it should have been
http://www.janushead.org/4-1/windhover.cfm
One must go to that page to see his line (inacurately rendered in my email as
<< No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion >> due to my computer's inability to translate accent marks used by Hopkins to make "new words") as Hopkins meant it to be seen.
Another of Hopkins' gems is at the same site. I see its message as echoing this (from --no doubt faulty-- memory) in The Matrix movies:
You (we, each of us) are The One .
As I paraphrase that to myself: Unique purpose individually for acting in concert with universal harmony in the grace that humility brings as instruments of divine will and power, as we live Reality-based Truth.

Gerard Manley Hopkins
As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame; As tumbled over rim and roundy wells Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name; Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: Deals out that being indoors each one dwells; Selves- goes itself; myself it speaks and spells, Crying What I do is me: for that I came.
I say more: the just man justices; Keeps gr�ce: th�t keeps all his goings graces; Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is-- Chr�st. 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.
ca.1882
After reading the above, I am lifted on a wave of feeling to believe that Steiner himself would nominate Hopkins poet-laureate to *Life*, let alone simply to the anti-GP movement! (please forgive me if I "blaspheme")
