The World is Charged with the Grandeur of God

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844--89). Poems. 1918.
Pied Beauty
GLORY be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.

I have pretty good luck with m4v (ipod compatible mp4) made with Quicktime Pro, which runs at about $30 US, but it takes much longer to upload and process than wmv.
