With the original poem set beneath a beautiful linocut, this print is about the lasting peace of a solitary winter walk, capturing the deep, iron quiet of Buttermere. Anyone who misses the open fells will love having it on their wall to keep the stillness of that heavy water close.

Buttermere

The early air is sharp enough to strike,
The water lies as heavy as a stone;
A pale sun clears the edge of Fleetwith Pike,
And I am standing by the shore alone.

I hear the distant rush of Sour Milk Gill,
The winter rime is clinging to the trees;
The shadowed valley settles, damp and still,
Without the slightest movement of a breeze.

The silver moisture gathers on my skin,
The peaty earth is yielding at my tread;
The deep and iron quiet enters in,
And clears the tangled thinking from my head.

When months have passed, upon a busy street,
Far from the open fell and quiet sky,
I feel the frosted shingle at my feet,
And hold the heavy water in my eye.

Sizes

A4 — 21 × 29.7 cm

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

Each size is the printed sheet itself. Framed, the 20 mm moulding sits outside it and there is no mount, so the whole sheet is on show. Unframed, it is sent flat, ready for a frame of your own.

Paper, frame and glazing

Printed on 200 gsm enhanced matte fine-art paper — no gloss and no glare, so the words read cleanly from across a room.

Framed in a 20 mm wide solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, glazed with shatterproof acrylic rather than glass, with a backing board and hanging fixtures already fitted.

Unframed prints are the same paper and the same print, sent flat.
