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.

     Ethel Louise Spowers (1890-1947)
     The Diamond, 1927
     Colour Linocut on Japanese Paper
     24 cm x 24 cm

   Little girl, little girl, where have you been?
      Gathering roses to give to the queen.
   Little girl, little girl, what gave she you?
      She gave me a diamond as big as my shoe.

   A rose for a diamond; as big as a shoe:
      Such figures of speech are surely a clue.
   She gave you a diamond, with what to do?
      To have and to hold, to remember the view.
