John Montague's poem ‘A Lost Tradition’ reflects on how place-names
help us navigate our landscapes, yet laments our inability to
understand the language and, consequently, the stories they convey.
Painting these landscapes involves more than merely capturing what
you see; it also requires understanding what has shaped them. As
Montague reminds us:
‘The whole landscape a manuscript.’
