Resonance XIX
Again, it was the
images taken at the Raspberry Hut on the second trip in winter
that were more successful. It was interesting that the hut still
stands and apart from a different pile of fire wood and a thin
layer of paint it appears untouched from the time that Baxter
used it. The semicircular rock, the broken circle, surrounding
the rock in the centre took sometime to find and seemed to relate
to Baxter's ideas of barren friendship.

Letter
from the Mountains 1968 CP 515
But these nights,
my friend, under the iron roof
Of this old rabbiters' hut....
And the rock of
barren friendship, has now another shape....
Tears from faces
of stone. They are our own tears.
At
Raspberry Hut 1961 CP 236
The water from
the mitred mountain.
The black mare of rock.

Invisible multitude
of the wind horses ranging
From Peak to mitred peak, from cloud to tumbling cloud
