After Pevsner

To appreciate the house it must be seen

in the radiance emitted by its own

baroque bravura and immensity.

Although the hills are softened by plantation

the contrast with surrounding barrenness

shocks each time it shows itself so that our eyes

are locked until they are released

to strain again to watch it fade from view.

As someone said, in fact a novelist:

‘It is as if I’m shown a masterpiece

secreted in a grotto, or a statue

of a goddess in her splendour in a barn.’

No one can get there easily or soon.

The heights of its estates command the passes.
