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.

TARking inspiration from Sussan Theme 
(This Goes With That At Sussan)
1980 Australian 7" 45rpm Promotional Single :

I was searching without finding
looking all the time
then the scene around was changing
everything was fine
I was looking in from the outside
outside looking in
then Sussan put me in the picture
I knew where to begin ...

this goes with this goes with this goes with this
and this goes with that at Sussan
this goes with this goes with this goes with this
and this goes with that at Sussan
this goes with this goes with this goes with this
and this goes with that at Sussan
Sussan put me in the picture
this goes with that at Sussan

(repeat)

this goes with that at Sussan
this goes with that at Sussan
this goes with that at Sussan
this goes with that at Sussan

insTARmental then repeat lyrics

L ♡ Diddy Wah Diddy ♡ S


Wikipedia : Lyrically, the song makes mention of the mythical town of Diddy Wah Diddy. It was not unusual in the early part of the 20th century for African Americans in the southern states (particularly in Florida) to speak of various mythical cities and countries such as Beluthahatchie, Ginny Gall,[8] Diddy Wah Diddy and West Hell as if they were real.[9] Of all the imaginary locations that were in common usage at the time, folklorist and ethnomusicologist Benjamin A. Botkin has noted that Diddy Wah Diddy was "the largest and best known of the Negro mythical places."[10] It was commonly believed that in Diddy Wah Diddy food could be found in abundance, the townsfolk did not have to work, and people and animals had no concerns.[11] Dixon and McDaniel's song is sung from the point of view of a man whose lover lives in this mythical location, as evidenced by such lines as...

She loves her man, just is a pity
Crazy 'bout my gal in Diddy Wah Diddy

Ain't no town, and it ain't no city
But oh, how they love in Diddy Wah Diddy
