Here the whole world (stars, water, air, <br />And field, and forest, as they were <br />Reflected in a single mind) <br />Like cast off clothes was left behind <br />In ashes, yet with hopes that she, <br />Re-born from holy poverty, <br />In lenten lands, hereafter may <br />Resume them on her Easter Day.<br /><br />Clive Staples Lewis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/here-the-whole-world/
