In Sight of Light

In Sight of Lightby Ellis

Take a journey into a black, underground wilderness. Traverse voids, scale walls, drop shafts, crawl deep into crevices. Twist through dark passages, carrying a light to reveal the magnificence of calcite flows and endless rock, until it is over and you return to the airy sufrace above. Your excursion – your expedition – is over for the moment, but the words and pictures contained within In Sight of Light will awaken your senses and inspire you for your next voyage beneath the earth.

Ellis has caved in Europe and India for over forty years, acutely observing and absorbing the special surroundings that caving affords. Fired by the hostile but beautiful environment underground, he left full-time academic work to explore his thoughts, experiences and moods through his verse and prose. The results are encapsulated in his In Sight of Light.
