The Anathemata

Mabinog’s Liturgy (continued)

Of whom was his mother-wit?

Who was of the gladiusa  transfixed

Whose psyche

was alone found patient of such transfixion

in all the world?

David Jones notes

additional notes

a gladius: sword. The reference is to the soldier who pieced the side of Jesus on the cross with his sword to test whether he was dead (John 19:33-34).
