The Flower in the Crainned 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.



~ Alfred Lord Tennyson ~






Two recent flowers I found in crannied "walls" during my morning walk near Atlanta.
