A beautiful poem - thank you. I think you will like the chapter in Robert Macfarlane's book. I love these sentences about Nan Shepherd's writing
"... the exploratory movement out into the wild landscape simultaneous with the confirming movement back into the self - lends her poems their uncanny atmosphere, whereby the hills are both hostile and habitual, unsettling and enfolding. This is keenest in the four short lyrics written in Doric, the north-east dialect of Scots, which stud the book like garnets in granite."
