AUGUST 15th
THE ASSUMPTIONOne instant in a still lightHe saw Our Lady, thenHer dress was soft as western sky,And she was a queen most womanly,But she was a queen of men.
And over the iron forestHe saw Our Lady stand,Her eyes were sad withouten artAnd seven swords were in her heart,But one was in her hand.
'Ballad of Alfred.'
'Ballad of Alfred.'

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
