The Poems of Norman MacCaig Quotes

“Landscape is my religion.

...God in a green legend, I lean over the pool
In a testament of leaves. I dangle my twinkling mood
Before me in a cool cave roofed with branches
And floored with a skin of water. ”
― Norman MacCaig, The Poems of Norman MacCaig

“Self under self, a pile of selves I stand
Threaded on time, and with metaphysic hand
Lift the farm like a lid and see
Farm within farm, and in the centre, me.”
― Norman MacCaig, The Poems of Norman MacCaig
