Cloud Howe

Product Information

From that room you could see all Kinraddie by day and the lights of Kinraddie shine as night came, Robert would heave a great sigh as he sat and looked from Chris to Kinraddie below. Wearied? she’d ask, and he’d say, Lord, yes, and frown and then laugh: Looks everywhere that would sour the milk! But my job’s to minister and minister I will though Kinraddie’s kirk grows toom as its head. And would think a while, It’s near that already.

Chris leaned from the window and looked to the west. And what’s that to the left, that hiddle of houses?--Where the spinners bide, he told her, she stared, she had thought them abandoned byres or pig-sties. But Muir just gleyed and said they were fine--good enough for the dirt that’s in them. If you gave good houses to rubbish like them, they’d have them pig-rees in a damn short while. They’re not Segget folk, the spinners, at all. Sve ocene gostiju se dodeljuju na skali od 1 do 10.

I’ll try to find something betwixt and between. But also Chris found it coming on Robert that here he could never do good or do ill, in a countryside that was dying or dead. One night he looked at Chris and said, Lord! But for you, Christine, I was daft to come here. I’ll try for a kirk in some other place, there’s work enough to be done in the towns. And thought for a while, his fair head in his hands. Would you like a town?Each review score is between 1-10.

London seemed awfully big to a wee lassie from Scotland. After graduating from LAMDA, I joined the Dundee Rep and did various stage plays throughout the UK. Cloud Howe by Lewis Grassic Gibbon was a four-part BBC Scotland Television Drama, adapted by Bill Craig and broadcast on network BBC-2 from 14 July to 4 August 1982 (9.30–10.25pm). NB Since this is a review of the second part of a trilogy, it will contain some mild spoilers for the first part, Sunset Song. The old minister had died of drink, fair sozzled he was, folk said, at the end; and his last words were, so the story went, And what might the feare’s prices be today? No doubt that was just a bit lie that they told, but faith! he’d been greedy enough for his screw, with his long grey face and his bleary eyes and his way that he had of speaking to a man, met out in the street ordown by the Arms, as though he were booming from the pulpit itself: Why didn’t I see you in the kirk last Sabbath? And a billy would redden and give a bit laugh, and look this way and that, were he one of New Toun. But more than likely, were he one of the spinners, he’d answer: Maybe because I wasn’t there! in the awful twang that the creatures spoke; and go off and leave old Greig sore vexed, he’d never got over the fact that the spinners cared hardly a hoot for kirk session or kirk.

And somehow you just didn’t tell that outbye, folk would have said that he slept with you next. So you lay in your bed and had a fine rest but that they tormented you to read books and brought great piles to put by your bed, and themselves were so keen that you fair were fashed, they would read you out bits, the mistress or minister, sometimes them both, and you never had had patience with books in your life. You could never get in them or past the long words, some thing there was that stood fast between, though you knit up your brows and tried ever so hard. I never saw a greater rearin' i' the parish aboot onything. Uls. 1879 W. G. Lyttle Paddy McQuillan 11: Ewan would look up, staring and still, Who’s the Lord? and Robert would drop his great book and stare in the fire, That’s a tough one, Ewan. But He’s Something and sure, our Father and Mother, our End and Beginning. Among other things he wrote a novel about Spartacus and the Roman slave revolt, and a non-fiction book on Mungo Park, the 18th-century Scottish explorer of Africa; but he is best remembered for his trilogy A Scots Quair, of which Sunset Song is the first and I think the best part, where form and subject are most satisfactorily fused. He wrote it in six weeks and it was published in 1932. Sunset Song ends with the end of the first world war, which in the novel is inseparable from the end of the crofting way of life. The best of the young men of Kinraddie - the fictional township where the novel is set - are dead in the war; the trees that were once windbreaks and bulwarks against soil erosion have been cut down; the balance of the economic life of the area is tipping away from farming towards manufacture in the towns and cities, towards the future.So he did ere a month was out, news came from Segget its minister was dead, Robert brought the news home: I’m to try for his kirk. And Chris said, Segget? and Robert said Yes, and Chris quoted the bit of poetry there was, somebody they said in Segget had made it: Oh, Segget it’s a dirty hole, A kirk without a steeple, A midden-heap at ilka door And damned uncivil people. It is perhaps this setting that makes Grey Granite seem less grounded than the previous two novels in A Scots Quair. While Gibbon’s descriptions of the industrial cityscape are fine they do not have the lyricism of his evocation of rural landscapes. Indeed it is notable that when the story breaks the bounds of the city the writing lifts. But in his defence here Gibbon certainly cannot do without Duncairn. It is absolutely necessary in a novel sequence about modern Scotland (as he was essaying) to encompass the industrial habitat in which most Scots live. And this is only a criticism in the context of Sunset Song and Cloud Howe. Taken on its own Grey Granite would stand as a fine mid-twentieth century Scots novel. And now she stood by a stranger’s side, she slept in his bed, he loved her, she him, nearer to his mind than ever she had been to that of the body that lay mouldering in France, quiet and unmoving that had moved to her kisses, that had stirred and been glad in her arms, in her sight, that had known the stinging of rain in his face as he ploughed the steep rigs of Blawearie brae, and come striding from his work with that smile on his face, and his clumsy hands and his tongue that was shy of the things that his eyes could whisper so blithe.

Else went down the stairs to where Peter stood. Come in, and wipe your feet on the mat. He looked as though he’d have liked to wipe them on her, but he came in, fierce in his five feet two, the minister was waiting and rose when he came. I’ve come from Segget, Else heard the thing say, and the minister answer as she closed the door, Oh, yes? Well, won’t you sit down, Mr. Peat?

And Robert would whistle as he looked at his map--What mightn’t a minister do in Segget, with the help of young Mowat or the folk of the schools? And sutors are atheists, bound to have brains, and extremely religious, all atheists are. One could do great things with a village League. . . . Vivien said: “I fell in love with Chris from the minute I stepped into her shoes. I love her determination, her independence and her fighting spirit. I am quite a determined person, so we have some things in common.

And there, as they swung by the Meiklebogs farm, the hills to the right, at last lay Segget, a cluster and crawl of houses white-washed, the jute-mills smoking by Segget Water, the kirk with no steeple that rose through the trees, the houses of the spinners down low on the left, though Chris didn’t know that these were their houses. Then the lorry puffed up to the old kirk Manse, on the fringe of Segget, and Chris saw the lawn piled in a fair hysteria of furniture. She jumped down and stood a minute at gaze, in the shadows, the shadows the new yews flung, the grass seemed blue in the blaze of the heat. But when he was seen stride up to the pulpit, and he leaned from the pulpit rails and he preached, the elders were first of all ta’en with his way, and the old folk next with the thing that he preached, not the mealy stuff that you’d now hear often, but meaty and strong and preached with some fire--and man! he fairly could tell a bit tale!

The latest returning plough-boy or farmer or cotter saluted her again in the evening, or as they phrased it, “roared in on the bye-gaun”. Arg. 1920 H. Foulis Vital Spark 127:

Ušetřete čas i peníze!

Chris herself is almost entirely passive and is an example of what I mean about Gibbon using his characters. In Sunset Song, Chris had a profound connection to the land she farmed and this was a major part of her personality. Between the books, she has apparently simply given up farming and has willingly gone off to live in a town and become a housewife. Since clearly this is because Gibbon wanted to write about a town this time, it would have been less jarring if he’d left Chris in Kinraddie and given Robert a different wife. A recurring character who changes so completely between books gives a sense of dislocation rather than of continuity. He tries to show that Chris still feels connected to the land by having her going for long solitary walks, but this is no substitute. She also seems to have moved up a class, not just outwardly as one would by marrying a minister at that time, but inwardly, having developed a rather snobbish ability to look down on the townspeople. Chris heard those stories in the weeks that went, if you bade in Kinraddie and any ill tale were told about you -- and you fair had to be an angel in breeks if that weren’t done and even then, faith! they’d have said there were unco things under your breeks – the very trees rose and sniggered it to you, the kye lowed the news from every bit gate. But she paid no heed, she was blithe and glad, happed in her Robert and the nearness of him, young Ewan as well, a third by the fire as they sat of a night and the storms came malagarousing the trees down the length and breadth of the shrilling Howe.
