More InformationAlso published in paperback by Fontana (Collins) 1988 as a Flamingo edition, without the plates. Literary meditations, with mentions of Henry Moore. The work opens with a quotation on Moore's use of English stone. On pages 190-191 the author is reminded of Moore's elephant skull graphic works and of his sculptures, relating them to some mountains he has climbed. Moore's sculptures tell me what the crags and boulders tell me. That our bodies are worlds their interiors never seen but the self is in there.""
