David Jones, artist and poet (1895-1974) begins his PREFACE TO THE ANATHEMATA :

'I have made a heap of all that I could find.' (1) So wrote Nennius, or whoever composed the introductory matter to Historia Brittonum. He speaks of an 'inward wound' which was caused by the fear that certain things dear to him 'should be like smoke dissipated'. Further, he says, 'not trusting my own learning, which is none at all, but partly from writings and monuments of the ancient inhabitants of Britain, partly from the annals of the Romans and the chronicles of the sacred fathers, Isidore, Hieronymous, Prosper, Eusebius and from the histories of the Scots and Saxons although our enemies . . . I have lispingly put together this . . . about past transactions, that [this material] might not be trodden under foot'. (2)

(1) The actual words are coacervavi omne quod inveni, and occur in Prologue 2 to the Historia.
(2) Quoted from the translation of Prologue 1. See The Works of Gildas and Nennius, J.A.Giles, London 1841.

we're going inside of the oh my god
05:34
i'm way too sober for this

it's in in still trippy as hell
05:42
oh my god this is
05:46
this is on another level
05:50
galaxy oh no i'm gonna watch this a
05:54
billion times
05:56
from now until i die


06:03
i mean to leave me speechless
06:07
you great ghost whoever you are i'm
06:10
gonna
06:11
look for you i'm gonna
06:14
i'm gonna obsess about everything else
06:17
you
06:17
directed and yeah
06:20
[Music]
06:24
are you kidding me oh my god
06:29
oh my god um
06:32
so yeah i'm definitely gonna
06:36
obsess over this forever
06:39
like that's just what's gonna happen 


06:42
hi how are you i'm your average human
06:46
and i'm gonna get that tattooed on
06:47
my forehead i don't know how
06:49
but oh my god
06:52
that how i i mean
06:57
how can you sum up a video like that
07:00
because that was not a video
07:02
no sir that thing
07:05
i just watched it was not a video that's
07:08
an
07:09
experience a sensory
07:12
experience oh my
07:16
lord have mercy
07:19
that was so good i mean i'm gonna be
07:23
honest
07:23
i thought it was gonna be trippy and i
07:26
thought it was gonna be great


07:28
but this exceeded
07:32
any expectation i might have had
07:35
oh my god that was so good i have so
07:39
many questions like
07:40
i want a behind the scenes i want to see
07:43
how they
07:44
they shot this how how long it took
07:48
because it was so good and so original
07:51
oh my god
07:52
you know what always excites me
07:56
about you know unique
07:59
artists like this when they have a very
08:03
sort of precise point of view
08:08
in what they do with their art this
08:11
is a type of thing that just blows my
08:13
mind


08:15
because i mean when an artist makes a
08:19
music video
08:20
there's so many options of what you can
08:22
do with it
08:23
but i feel like
08:26
nowadays it's a bit more rare
08:30
that someone goes out and beyond for the
08:34
music videos
08:36
i don't know i remember when i was like
08:39
a little girl and i would watch
08:42
which would scare the living crap out of
08:46
me but
08:46
i would watch you know michael jackson's
08:49
thriller
08:50
and it was it was something so crazy
08:53
at the time i think now maybe if
08:57
i don't know someone who's like 12 or
09:01
16 even watches that video they're gonna
09:04
be like yes


09:05
you know it's not that good but back
09:08
when i was a little girl
09:10
that would blow my mind and
09:14
it was because i think in that case
09:18
you know just like this they put so much
09:22
effort and thought into the music video
09:25
like you can see
09:26
in this video that they had such a
09:30
strong idea
09:31
concept oh my god seriously people
09:35
i'm fangirling and losing my mind over a
09:38
video can we not make
09:40
loud sounds
09:44
every single time every single time does
09:46
it matter if i'm recording a three
09:48
in the morning some
09:52
rude person always anyway


09:56
going back to the awesomeness
09:59
that i just witnessed it
10:02
it is incredible i love it
10:06
i mean the song like i said i was
10:09
obsessed with it i knew the song was
10:12
great
10:12
so i have i had like good expectations
10:16
for the video
10:17
but i didn't know like where the video
10:20
could go
10:21
you know i knew it was not going to be
10:23
something very
10:24
literal in a sense but


10:28
damn that's like damn
10:31
it was so good especially the contrast
10:35
between
10:36
this video and the red room one
10:39
where it was so contrived you know
10:42
one one scene one place just
10:46
a room with the car in it and
10:50
and i mean i loved that video too
10:54
but to put that into
10:57
perspective with this one which is all
11:00
the opposite of that one you know is
11:03
open and out there and it's the universe
11:07
and it's colors oh my god so many colors
11:11
not just red you know it's like


11:14
it's everything it's it's like do you we
11:16
just went
11:17
on a journey through literally
11:20
everything
11:21
with our favorite musicians
11:25
you know just going through this
11:26
experience i just
11:30
wow seriously i'm not even kidding
11:34
that might be my like
11:37
the best video ever
11:40
period and i'm not exaggerating
11:45
definitely the best video that i've seen
11:50
since you know that i started the
11:53
channel and everything
11:55
i've seen a bunch of videos but nothing
11:58
honey like
11:58
this it was oh my god


12:03
i'm sorry if i'm very sort of
12:06
rambling or fangirling too hard over
12:09
this
12:11
but wow i'm so glad at the same time
12:14
that i've recorded
12:15
my reaction because wow that was
12:18
incredible
12:19
i mean props to everyone involved it was
12:22
so good
12:24
our queen she looked stunning the guys
12:28

12:55
sorry but go
12:56

13:10
watch it again
13:11
because that is how good this was
13:14
oh my god what a great
13:17
era to be alive i hate when people
13:20
you know it's always like on instagram
13:24
or something like that where people
13:27
always put
13:28
like the best value onto the past


13:31
they're like you know um like the music
13:35
of this old era was the best and now
13:38
music
13:38
sucks i always feel the same way
13:42
honey if you think that then you're not
13:45
looking
13:46
in the right places first of all and
13:48
second
13:50
can you see this like the artists that
13:53
are alive
13:54
right now that i get to experience i
13:56

14:01
on another level like i said another
14:04
