ON “GIVER OF BREATH”

According to Gerard Manley Hopkins, and I quote:
“Thou mastering me God! giver of breath and bread;
World’s strand, sway of the sea; Lord of living and dead;
Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh, And after it almost unmade, what with dread,
Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh? Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.”
