“Behind the passes, in the high camps left, flakes fall and settle; the circle of the peaks is hidden; no small live rustle will break the silence till the nomad spring.
On, on their downward journey the caravans endlessly swing
by day, by night,
with ponies, herds, dogs, babies, tents, blankets, and cooking pots, far down and out of sight.”
Godden’s sensual collection of fictional short stories and personal poems set in India.
