| 説明 | Our guided walk led by the Elmet Trust round the local places associated with Ted Hughes our Poet Laureate 1984-1998 arrived here following a visit to his birthplace at No 1 Aspinall Street Mytholmroyd, we have moved on up the Bankside hill to Redacre Woods which played a great part in the poet's early development. Here in the woods above Mytholmroyd Gerald Hughes and his ten years younger brother Ted came to play their imaginary games of red-Indian trappers and scouts, they even had a tom-tom drum hidden in the undergrowth the better to send messages to the tribes across the valley! Ted and Gerald were very close all their lives and it was here in these woodlands and the moors above them that the first stirrings of two lifelong inextricably-connected emotions so memorably made real in Ted Hughes; came alive - that of the hunter-killer, which in turn informed the muse of the poet. Gerald was Ted's guide as his poem "Two" acknowledges and is tribute. Gerald emigrated to Australia when Ted was about eighteen years of age, he was the "guide who flew up from the pathway" and Ted was "The other" who "swayed".TWOTwo stepped down out of the morning star,The grouse glowed, they were stolen embers.The dew split colour.And a cupped hand brimmed with cock-crows.Two came down with long shadowsBetween the dawn's fingersWith the swinging bodies of haresAnd snipe robbed of their jewels.The stream spoke an oracle of unending,The sun spread a land at their feet.Two dropped from the woods that hung in the skyBringing the scorched feet of carrion crows.And the war opened - a sudden yellingRicocheted among the huddled roof-tops.The guide flew up from the pathway.The other swayed.The feather fell from his head.The drum stopped in his hand.The song died in his mouth.Ted Hughes 1930-1998. |
