Analysis of The Forest.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The calling of the forest was too strong,
so with it they decided to adorn their houses.
From its pulp emerged the Swiss roll that was to caress their skin as they ate.
The priests blessed their hands each time they passed their idol, finally feeling back in Walsingham.
