Hero Today, Please
Beneath Glastonbury tor
Lies who knows what
Maybe it’s better to
Let the legend lie
Until the ground is split
In later days
And the hero rises
This is what it means to be
A once and future story
So real a return is
Promised
We must have it again
In greatest need
And for now, each time
We need to have the tale told
In present time
In days requiring
Some solace while it’s raining
Or inspiration as of
A venial
Version of an
Easter morn

Very fascinating piece Christopher. What are legends or half-truths of what happened under Glastonbury tor? Is there a story behind this rising hero not only in the metaphorical abs real sense of Christ, but a human story/lengend. I haven’t read TH White so I thought you could give me a brief idea?
It makes me think of a song from the first ‘Spider-Man Soundtrack with Toby McGuire . I believe it was the start of the superhero obsession 🙂
