In my scribblings in response to your words, GA, I don’t believe I have ever passed judgement on your words, just my own musings to that you have evoked.

This time it’s different, although I can append my own musings, I shall not – I was moved by this article for it’s depth and understanding, possibly because it’s in tune with my own thoughts, but more likely because of its wonderful prose.

” because it is a man-made artifact it has emotional presence, whereas the actual dead have only absence”. One of the truest sentences I’ve ever read — and I only knew it after reading it. Ah, gentle author, your blog is such a treasure.

Hi Gentle

I visited William myself the other day, having never seen the crypt there before, and was bowled over by this hidden treasure. I’m guessing that this effigy would have formed the bottom half of a transi tomb, with an effigy of William in all his earthly finery above.
