Flower in the Crannied Wall

Flower in the crannied wall,

I pluck you out of the crannies,

I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,

Little flower—but if I could understand

What you are, root and all, all in all,

I should know what God and man is.

-- Tennyson

Your Say

Defect in the wall,
home to life
colorful and small.

'That's how the delight gets in,' to paraphrase some other poet, bright gray and tall.
