Old goat unicorn. Bronze by Olive Wootton, who we met yesterday at the Goldmark Gallery in Uppingham. Magnificent bronze figures. Hard to capture in Gallery lighting, so this is my rather OTT background via Hipstamatic filter.

Churchyard, Manton, Rutland. The Yew-Tree Should they not sleep, safe in the sepulchre? I, a man walking, one alive to fear, Hear these deep, holy boughs and berries red Sweep the dark graves, then stop where seem to tread Long-vanished mourners from an earlier year; Late-leaving, then, from each fresh grave I hear Love’s nearmost: ‘0, who will lift this lost, loved head, Crowned with flowers fading, whose quick colors pray?’ Then none makes answer; yet, soon, bodily Reaching to God, I hear that good thief say: ‘Lord, for no wrong Thou diest, but justly we.’ That word kills grief, and through the dark-boughed tree Gives to each dead his resurrection day. — Vernon Watkins
