skye

been thinking about yusuf islam's cover of george harrison's 'the day the world gets 'round' that he recorded in 2009 for UNRWA, so that's my connection for #jukeboxFridayNight.
haven't drawn george for a bit, so i've illustrated this toot with two harrisons (one of which is based on a photo by pattie boyd that was taken on the isle of skye).

The glitter of water and the wake…
Heading for University in Aberdeen.
It’s an autumn morning. I am seventeen.
Above the Isle of Skye the dawn’s a flag

of red infuriate ore…

—Iain Crichton Smith, “Aberdeen University 1945–49 (1)”
in DEER ON THE HIGH HILLS, ed. by John Greening (Carcanet, 2021)
