Ah, yes, thought the name rang a bell but I'd forgotten to move it over to the blog - I think :-( Need to go through each and every of these 500 posts and check nothing else's been missed.

"When the ritual and whatever its accompaniment may have been of masks, effigies and offerings have vanished so long ago, when there is no stir of emotion and the ghost which keeps emotion alive, when the very people responsible for raising these mounds have been overwhelmed, absorbed and forgotten, then their detailed study can become lifeless enough. Better perhaps to look at them with knowledge but with knowledge unexpressed, these round barrows that are like the floating bubbles of events drowned in time."* * Jacquetta Hawkes. Prehistoric Monuments and Roman Monuments in England and Wales; 1954. Thanks to moss for that.

drops of rain running over lichen-green sarsens ~ distant misty hills humid summer night sun melts into horizon between old grey stones unseen influences dream the world into being ~ mandala of stars stones reverberate ~ the ancient song of the wind whistling up spirits
