scottish landscapes (2)

Today on this shingle shelf
I understand this pensive reluctance so well
This not discommendable obstinacy,
These contrivances of an inexpressive critical feeling,
These stones with their resolve that Creation shall not be
Injured by iconoclasts and quacks . . .

Hugh MacDiarmid, from 'On a Raised Beach'.
