About

The phrase is taken from a poem by Aotearoa poet, writer, and musician Denys Trussell.

Moon and Hymn Over Hauraki (excerpt):

That she of stone and stone's dust
is radiant, cold, white
with the white of silence
made by her reflecting
tells us.
That she
a single note of rock
is earth-cast
yet casts
sun's abstract as the sheen
of night over forests
standing black beneath
the tall ridges of Hauturu
