Resonance XVII
During February
as Lawrence us drove up the Matukituki valley this bent pole caught
my eye an we stopped to take a photograph. However, it wasn't
until I returned in winter when there was more snow and rising
mist in the valley that I was able to get this image. Exactly
how the pole became bent is unknown, but perhaps Baxter's "tigers"
attacked it in the darkness of the night.

Mountains 1942 CP 8
But here they stand
in massed solidity
to seize upon the day and night horizon....
The mountains crouch
like tigers.
They are but stone yet the seeking eyes grow blind
