Could we with ink the ocean fill,
and were the skies of parchment made,
were every stalk on earth a quill
and every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
would drain the ocean dry;
nor could the scroll contain the whole
though stretched from sky to sky

~from the hymn 'The Love of God', Frederick M Lehman

Dont you love our english language?
