“Such illusions, depending on how the eye is placed and used, drive home the truth that our habitual vision of things is not necessarily right: it is only one of an infinite number, and to glimpse an unfamiliar one, even for a moment, unmakes us, but steadies us again. It’s queer but invigorating. It will take a long time to get to the end of a world that behaves like this if I do no more than turn round on my side or my back.” #NanShepherd Written in the mid-1940s and kept in a desk drawer until 1977, this little book about the Cairngorms is a crown jewel of nature-human-nature writing. #nature #humannature #cairngorms #poetry #books #perspective https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3ZXA6Ba0y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
