Ted Hughes' Memorial Stone
When I next need a challenge, this must be an interesting Dartmoor walk

The Ted Hughes Memorial Stone
or, somewhat easier, The Ted Hughes Poetry Trail
Easiest of all, a pint at The Poet Laureate, whilst dipping into his Collected Poems:
Error
"I brought you to Devon. I brought you into my dreamland.
I sleepwalked you
Into my land of totems. Never-never land:
The orchard in the West...
What had happened
To the Italian sun?
Had it escaped our snatch
Like a butterfly off a nettle?
...The world
Came to an end at bullocks
Huddled behind gates, knee-deep in quag,
Under the huddled, rainy hills..."
(from Birthday Letters)
See Channel 4 news item (6 October 2010) concerning the recently discovered "last letter".
