It is based on the Hardy poem, ‘Shadow on the Stone’. This is still an early ‘draft’ by Catherine. she has not yet selected the sound track to accompany the poem. What kind of music might you suggest she listens to for this poem? The Shadow on the Stone by Thomas Hardy I went by the Druid stone That broods in the garden white and lone, And I stopped and looked at the shifting shadows That at some moments fall thereon From the tree hard by with a rhythmic swing, And they shaped in my imagining To the shade that a well-known head and shoulders Threw there when she was gardening. I thought her behind my back, Yea, her I long had learned to lack, And I said: ‘I am sure you are standing behind me, Though how do you get into this old track?’ And there was no sound but the fall of a leaf As a sad response; and to keep down grief I would not turn my head to discover That there was nothing in my belief. Yet I wanted to look and see That nobody stood at the back of me; But I thought once more: ‘Nay, I’ll not unvision A shape which, somehow, there may be.’ So I went on softly from the glade, And left her behind me throwing her shade, As she were indeed an apparition— My head unturned lest my dream should fade. http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/1C3970E3-64F5-43B0-8C85-EA354BA43DB0.html http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/1C3970E3-64F5-43B0-8C85-EA354BA43DB0.html Wed, 2 Aug 2006 12:46:27 +0100 <a href="http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/1C3970E3-64F5-43B0-8C85-EA354BA43DB0_files/The%20Roman%20Road.mov"><img src="http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/Images/The%20Roman%20Road.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:150px; height:150px;"/></a>This poem was produced by Victoria and Faye.

What advise would you offer the authors to help them finish off their interpretation of the poem? The Roman Road The Roman Road runs straight and bare As the pale parting-line in hair Across the heath. And thoughtful men Contrast its days of Now and Then, And delve, and measure, and compare; Visioning on the vacant air Helmeted legionnaires, who proudly rear The Eagle, as they pace again The Roman Road. But no tall brass-helmeted legionnaire Haunts it for me. Uprises there A mother's form upon my ken, Guiding my infant steps, as when We walked that ancient thoroughfare, The Roman Road. -- Thomas Hardy http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/F1735ED8-8E67-492C-A6B7-266F83730FDE.html http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/F1735ED8-8E67-492C-A6B7-266F83730FDE.html Wed, 2 Aug 2006 12:43:34 +0100 <a href="http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/F1735ED8-8E67-492C-A6B7-266F83730FDE_files/Sian%20and%20Faye%27s%20%27Rain%20on%20a%20Grave%27-1.mov"><img src="http://web.mac.com/kburden/iWeb/Wessex%20Heights/Podcast/Images/Sian%20and%20Faye%27s%20%27Rain%20on%20a%20Grave%27.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:150px; height:150px;"/></a>This poem was produced by Faye and Sian based around the hardy poem, ‘Rain on a Grave’.

Is there anything you would recommend they consider before they finalise their poem? Rain on a Grave Clouds spout upon her Their waters amain In ruthless disdain, -- Her who but lately Had shivered with pain As at touch of dishonour If there had lit on her So coldly, so straightly Such arrows of rain. She who to shelter Her delicate head Would quicken and quicken Each tentative tread If drops chanced to pelt her That summertime spills In dust-paven rills When thunder-clouds thicken And birds close their bills. Would that I lay there And she were housed here! Or better, together Were folded away there Exposed to one weather We both, -- who would stray there When sunny the day there, Or evening was clear At the prime of the year.
