‘God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,

And rides upon the storm.’

William Cowper, Hymn (1773)

‘Myreugh orth an vorvoren, hanter pysk ha hanter den.

Y vos Dew ha den, yn-lan dhe’n keth uta-na crygyans ren.’

‘Look at the mermaid, half fish and half human. That

He is God and man, to that same fact let us entirely give credence.’

Louis T. Stanley, Journey Through Cornwall (1958)
