96/100 Hill Runes




The horsemen are red in the stable
With whisky and wrath.
The petrol drinker is in the hills.

[from Hill Runes, George Mackay Brown, 'Selected poems 1952-1992']

    1. Thanks - we're off to Orkney again tomorrow - there's a crime writers event on, include Denise Mina who I discovered in February and very much like.
