Or Sidney Lanier s Marshes of Glynn (where I spent many summers nearby): As the marsh-hen secretly builds on the watery sod, Behold I will build me a nest on the greatness of God;I will fly in the greatness of God as the marsh-hen flies, In the freedom that fills all the space twixt the marsh and the skies.
