Ted Hughes was a phenomenally gifted and prolific storyteller who found great contentment as an Devonshire farmer.

He was indeed a most intriguing man-child born from the moors of Mytholmroyd.

 "These wind-swept moors of heather sweet, embraces us, our four arms meet."

Emily Brontë 

 

 

 

The wind on Crow Hill was her darling

His fierce, high tale in her ear was her secret

But his kiss was fatal

 

Through her dark Paradise ran

The stream she loved too well

That bit her breast

 

The shaggy sodden king of that kingdom

Followed through the wall

And lay on her love-sick bed

 

The curlew trod in her womb

The stone swelled under her heart

Her death is a baby-cry on the moor
