It is important to have a secret, a premonition of things unknown. It fills life with something impersonal... A man who has never experienced that has missed something important. He must sense that he lives in a world which in some respects is mysterious; that things happen and can be experienced which remain inexplicable; that not everything which happens can be anticipated. The unexpected and the incredible belong in this world.

Lacking cities, Ireland didn't quite see the point of bishops, and gradually these were replaced in importance by abbots and – in a development that would make any self-respecting Roman's blood run cold – abbesses...(Brigid)... ruled as high abbess of an immense double monastery – that is, a foundation that admitted both men and women, another irregularity that would have deeply offended Roman Catholic sensibility, which to this day imagines rule by a woman over men as a perversion of the natural order....She is reputed to have taken the veil on the hill of Uisnech, Ireland's primeval naval and the mythical centre of its cosmic mandala.

Here Walked The Fiend, 10 March 2009
acrylic and ink on paper, approx 140mm x 189mm

Mean while upon the firm opacous Globe
Of this round World, whose first convex divides
The luminous inferior Orbs, enclos'd [ 420 ]
From Chaos and th' inroad of Darkness old,
Satan alighted walks: a Globe farr off
It seem'd, now seems a boundless continent
Dark, waste, and wild, under the frown of Night
Starless expos'd, and ever-threatning storms [ 425 ]
Of Chaos blustring round, inclement skie;
Save on that side which from the wall of Heav'n
Though distant farr some small reflection gaines
Of glimmering air less vext with tempest loud:
Here walk'd the Fiend at large in spacious field. [ 430 ]
