Featured in: The week that started 26th August. Full size image: 929 × 929.
In an old house there is always listening, and more is heard than is spoken. And what is spoken remains in the room, waiting for the future to hear it. And whatever happens began in the past, and presses hard on the future. The agony in the curtained bedroom, whether of birth or of dying, Gathers in to itself all the voices of the past, and projects them into the future. The treble voices on the lawn The mowing of hay in summer The dogs and the old pony The stumble and the wail of little pain The chopping of wood in autumn And the singing in the kitchen And the steps at night in the corridor The moment of sudden loathing And the season of stifled sorrow The whisper, the transparent deception The keeping up of appearances The making the best of a bad job All twined and tangled together, all are recorded.
