Of Giants and White Horses

about

"Enter our darkness through the doors of wheat
And the light veil of grass
[leaving behind Name, body, country, speech, vocation, faith]
And gather into the secrecy of the earth
Furrowed by broken ploughs and lost in time."

The Difficult Land
Edwin Muir



“I had that sense of recognition ... here was something
which I had known all my life, only I didn’t know it…”

Ralph Vaughan-Williams, commenting upon his first discovery of British folklore and folk music.

lyrics

Racing through the southern downs,
The ageless horses of myth
Canter through the shaman’s dream,
Losing him in their breath.

Carved on the hillsides and old chalky dales,
[Songs of the great dragon lore],
The dragon-horse dragons breathe fuelling the life,
Kissed by the mother before…

Giants, to, wander the green hollow hills,
Arthur, or Hermes, or Thoth:
Songs of the land lit by long-sleeping minds,
Restless with thundery wrath.

The land is the blood and the blood is the land,
The carbon of skin, wood and heart –
Here the ancients dance, vital and pure
Through myth, through the blood of the stars...
