Lakeland Dipper (further afield) 46
Wain Wath Waterfall, near Keld
Popped into North Yorkshire. It's astonishing how identifiably (extra) different the landscape is in just a few miles from Kirkby Stephen. I headed over to look at the Muker Meadows (extra).
'Time does not bring relief; you all have lied' - Edna St.Vincent Millay
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year’s bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.
There are a hundred places where I fear
To go,—so with his memory they brim.
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, “There is no memory of him here!”
And so stand stricken, so remembering him.
