Thanks moss but I'm seriously confused here. tiompan mentioned John Ormond's poem from Definition of a waterfall last May -http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=23046&message=507101
Ah yes I see, Definitions of a Waterfall is a book of poems by Ormond, whether my four verses are a whole poem I don't know..Does Ormond's poem have more than the four verses you quote because 'Thom's poem' has thirteen.
"Ancient Monuments" is in the book p29, according to the notes.
"The quotation you ask about is from John Ormond's poem 'Ancient Monuments'. I don't have the Ormond poem with me, but my recollection is that it is dedicated to Alexander Thom. That would account for it being ascribed to Thom on a megalithic forum. It is also just possible that Ormond quotes a phrase or a few words from Thom in the poem. But the verses are certainly from Ormond's poem."
