“I have fled my country and gone to the heather.”

Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights (1847)

 

“And the moors were always there and never without their promise.”

J.B.Priestley

Bright Days (1944)

 

“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”

Nan Shepherd

The Living Mountain (1977)
