So next time you climb the Mount at Penzance take a moment to stop and listen for the beating of a giant’s heart. The stone heart is another kind of the talisman. 'Heart-Shaped Box' is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. Hold on to seemingly worthless things as if they are some powerful symbol or charm. We see faces everywhere and animals in the clouds. We search out meaning. It is fascinating how we humans find patterns in the world about us. I have a little stone heart that my other half gave me. Īnd legend has it that if you stand still and listen hard you’re still able to hear the pounding beat of the giant’s unhappy heart. Jack became a local hero and from then on was known as Jack the Giant Killer.Īll that was left of Cormoran was his stone heart. He promptly fell into it and disappeared. Blinded by sunlight the giant didn’t see the pit that Jack had dug. ![]() When Cormoran awoke from his sleep he saw Jack on his island and charged at him. He crept over to the island and dug a large giant-catching pit. A local boy called Jack took up the challenge. Local villagers got really fed up and offered a reward in return for someone slaying the giant. But unfortunately he made nuisance of himself by waded ashore to the mainland every night and snatching livestock from local farms for his supper. Illustration by Percival LeighĬormoran built the huge stone castle that sits atop St Michael’s Mount. And legend has it it belonged to Cormoran the Giant. This stone heart suffers the undignified fate of being trampled under the soles of innumerable walking boots on a daily basis. I had a different destination, the Giant’s Heart. Weaving in and out of the flock of visitors puffing up to the castle. When my feet touched the rocky island shore I quickly began to wind my way up the old Pilgrims Path. Such an eye-popping green and lashings of it everywhere! On this day it was the colour of the seaweed that stuck me. It’s a place that is different in every season and in every light. I have walked this cobbled path many times in rain and shine. Another cute garland.The last time I visited the beautiful St Michael’s Mount, just off the coast of Cornwall, there was a steady stream of tourists crossing the tidal causeway ahead of me.
