NEVIS HILL TOP— CENTRAL OTAGO
T= wind makes a snake of the snow-grass, gliding across the hills to the feet of the stones that starid like birds, or men, ’ or neolithic monuments, or beak-billed gods long raised by those\ long dead to ga7e, ageless and eyeless, over the gullies and the silences. LL that is said or told ’ falls limp against the granite. Thought is a mist which dissipates in cloud, and inspiration becomes the last remnant of a spirit loath to accept finality. and yet. incompetent to add to that already here.
