The Anathemata

Rite and Fore-time (continued)

The utile infiltration nowhere held

creeps vestibulea

is already at the closed lattices,1 is coming through each door.

David Jones notes

1 Cf. the derivation of the word chancel’, from cancelli, lattice bars.

additional notes

a creeps vestibule: the verb being made transitive, a very common device in Jones; so ‘invades by creeping’.
