DECEMBER 13th
Elder father, though thine eyesShine with hoary mysteries,Canst thou tell what in the heartOf a cowslip blossom lies?
Smaller than all lives that be,Secret as the deepest sea,Stands a little house of seedsLike an elfin's granary.
Speller of the stones and weeds,Skilled in Nature's crafts and creeds,Tell me what is in the heartOf the smallest of the seeds.
God Almighty, and with HimCherubim and SeraphimFilling all Eternity—Adonai Elohim.
'The Wild Knight.'
'The Wild Knight.'

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.
