we'll be present at the birth of old faith looking new

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; 
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind; 
--William Wordsworth, "Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"



 
[Kirkstall Abbey.]

Because romantic poetry and abbeys go together like bread and butter.
