The Sound of Cumbria
A landscape drawn from the poems of Norman Nicholson and the words of the Cumbrian people.
The wall walks the fell-Grey Millipede on slow
Stone hooves; (NICHOLSON) The men make the landscape ...
A wilderness but for sheep....
It can rain and rain and rain ...
Changing light and shadows ...
Crags and rocks and bracken....
Fells, colour of cornflakes ...
The dry stone wills they're the bones of the landscape ...
Poems read by NORMAN NICHOLSON
