 Mercian Hymns XVII by Geoffrey Hill 
						He drove at evening through the hushed Vosges. The car radio,glimmering, received broken utterance from the horizon of storms...
 
 'God's honours - our bikes touched: he skidded and came off.' 'Liar.' A
 timid father's protective bellow. Disfigurement of a village king. 'Just
 look at the bugger...'
 
 His maroon GT chanted then overtook. He lavished on the high valleys its
 haleine.
