In exile, he took the colours from the cloth.
Now he would give them back to the landscape
where they belonged:
reddy-browns to the sun-scorched lichens,
purple and green to the heather-tops,
obsidian to the outcrops of rocks,
white to the sands and grey to the shallows,
cool blues into the translucency of the air.
Thus having unburdened himself of his memories
he had no need of the tweeds.
