The Anathemata
Rite and Fore-time (continued)
In the high cave they prepare
for guest to be the hostia.
David Jones notes
additional notes
high cave: the upper room.
hostia: literally, victim (Latin); but the word play reminds us the the consecrated bread at the Mass is called the host; and that Jesus would be the guest of the owner of the upper room, and also the host who receives his disciples as guests as well as being the hostia for them.
