The Thought Fox

Ted Hughes

From Shelf: Moving at Summers Pace

In celebration of our 90th birthday, five beautiful hardback editions of some of Ted Hughes's most popular nature poems - to collect, savour and look at the world anew!

Cold, delicately as the dark snowA fox's nose touches twig, leaf;Two eyes serve a movement, that nowAnd again now, and now, and nowSets neat prints into the snowBetween trees, and warily a lameShadow lags by stump and in hollowOf a body that is bold to comeAll the richness of the wild is seen through the poet's eye, highlighting the variety of the natural world and of Hughes's poetry about it. Poetry for young adult readers.
