Re: Tilting the World: an open letter to Julian
Jun 08, 2005, 21:15
I'll take your silence as a 'no' then Julian. So sad...

I saw the horses:
Hugh in the dense grey - ten together -
Megalith-still.They breathed, making no move,
With draped manes and tilted hind-hooves,
Making no sound.
I passed: not one snorted or jerked its head.
Grey silent fragments
Of a grey silent world.

Ted Hughes (1930 - )

So sad... Not one snorted to save Silbury. 'Grey silent fragments of a grey silent world.'
