What is recorded here
The Yew Walk, Powis Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the yew trees lean inward like listeners, catching breath from people long gone. Maybe their shadows move slower than ordinary shade, marking time in centuries rather than hours. Imagine walking beneath them at dusk, when the boundary between memory and flesh grows thin.
