Gerard Manley Hopkins - My selfbeing, my consciousness and feeling of myself, that taste...

My selfbeing, my consciousness and feeling of myself, that taste of myself, of *I* and *me* above and in all things... Is more distinctive than the taste of ale or alum, more distinctive than the smell of walnutleaf or camphor, and is incommunicable by any means to another man (as when I was a child I used to ask myself: What must it be to be someone else?).
