What is recorded here
Hugh Allen Oliver Hill is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the boy stood at a kitchen window watching rain strip color from the city, learning that visibility requires loss. Maybe he mixed curiosity and patience until understanding crystallised. Imagine his hands still steady after fifty years, remembering the exact moment uncertainty became shape.
