Time for Reflection I suppose that most of you here walk down the Canongate to get to the Parliament, so you regularly pass by the fascinating wall of this building that contains quotations from various people and sources, such as this one from the poem “Inversnaid” by Gerard Manley Hopkins:“What would the world be, once bereftOf wet and wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”What you might not know is that Hopkins was, like me, a Jesuit priest and that he wrote “Inversnaid” on a visit to Loch Lomond in 1881 while working in a parish in Glasgow.At the same time as Hopkins was writing, another of the authors on the Canongate wall was living and loving the wet and wildness, not on Loch Lomond but in California.
