| The legend of King Arthur and the matter of Britain still speaks to us. Stay a While... |
| A
rthur,
name for one Cornish prince--perhaps a duke of war for Celtic clans that found it easier
to war among themselves than unite effectively against Saxon, Angle, Jute, Norse, and
Irish invaders-- perhaps a king--perhaps a high king of other British kings-- perhaps
nothing but a legend with no historical basis in fact-- still, today, in our imagination,
the name remains magic. These are images of Arthur, Boar of Cornwall, named after the animal the Celts found to fight so fiercely, named by many Bear, in well-intentioned mistake, I believe. These are images of Arthur from people who never set their physical eyes on him, if he ever was at all. If he never was at all in this physical world, he remains a mighty force in our imaginative world, and has greater power there than ever in any mere, mundane place. |
