Little Langdale -Tilberthwaite – Cathedral Quarry 20.06.2019
.. Here a slate as hard as steel,
Tubular moulding around the keel
Of plated rock, and here a shale
That flakes and peels to finger nail.
The stream divides, the waves obey,
Now charitable in decay;
And children lie in sighing beds –
A river floor above their heads;
From The Seven Rocks by Norman Nicholson
