What is recorded here
Mud, milk, marrow and breath filled the gatehouse and barn before kings wrote anything down. A woman may have stood at the doorway with flour on her arms, listening for the first cough of a foal or the last breath of a man. The stones remained long after her name disappeared, holding the shape of that much older life.
