heather-bell

heather-bell
a species of heather, native to western and central Europe; erica cinerea; bell heather

The Phoenicians slept under their piled grey rocks; the chimneys of the old mines pointed starkly; early moths blurred the heather-bells; cartwheels could be heard grinding on the road beneath; and the suck and sighing of the waves sounded gently, persistently, for ever.
