“I can scarcely fancy myself to ask a superior to publish a volume of my verse and I own that humanly there is very little likelihood of that ever coming to pass.

But there is more peace and it isthe holier lot to be unknown than to be known.” IfsLooksLittlesI CanCoursesAsksSidesKnownRegretSuperiorsFancyVersesVolumePublishLikelihood Author:Gerard Manley Hopkins
