These poems were both written in 1980
CONISTON WATER
Sudden blackness
turns away the light -
the lake suffused
with night, mirrors
a range of hills
reaching for fallen stars.
A dark reflection
trapped
between opaque shores.
Malcolm Evison
LANGDALE PIKES
Thrusting, as if to burst
the blue day's calm -
these pinnacles erupt
to destroy, or magnify
the ranging line -
we tremble as they breast
the solitudes of time.
Malcolm Evison
