Flower in the Crannied Wall



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, and all in all,

I should know what God and man is.

by Alfred Lord Tennyson 1863


A poem of marginal nature. However, I leave the plants in the crannies and try to comprehend them in place.
