This poem is about seeking quiet at Wast Water, beautifully catching the ancient, profound stillness of the deepest lake beneath Great Gable. Set into a gorgeous linocut illustration, this print is perfect for anyone who loves the fells and longs to keep the rugged magic of Wasdale on their wall.

Wast Water

The screes pour down in stilled cascade
And slip beneath the water's skin,
Into the deepest lake, and fade
Too far for light to follow in.

Beyond the head, Great Gable stands,
A pyramid against the rain;
The walls of Wasdale fold their hands
Around the fields and narrow lane.

I came for quiet. Quiet came,
Not gentle, but the older kind
That knew the fells but not my name,
And rode home with me, close behind.

The print. A4 (21 x 29.7cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42cm). Framed in a solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, with shatterproof acrylic glazing and hanging fixtures fitted, or unframed on 200gsm fine-art paper, sent flat and ready for a frame of your own. Printed to order.

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.
