Archaeological investigation is revealing a consistent tradition of Anglo-Saxon secondary activity, occurring at Bronze Age burial mounds and Neolithic long barrows. Through a discussion of archaeological, historical, literary and linguistic sources relating to barrows and other types of prehistoric monument, this paper seeks to illustrate the distinctive place of the barrow in Anglo-Saxon society and ideology. It is intended to demonstrate that the written material of the period contains vital evidence of the Anglo-Saxon peoples' perception of their surrounding landscape.
So many scholars have spent so much time trying to establish whether Arthur existed at all that they have lost track of the single truth that he exists over and over.

Carmen Marchena
Sara Maitland, A Book of Silence
[Forests] produce little fragmented stories, of magic and human courage and dark plots, stories of secrets and silences. Over and over again in the old stories there is a silence: mysteries; hidden names; concealed identities; things not told, withheld, cloaked by silence. These tales have oral roots, so each time they are told they are told for a slightly different purpose. Do you want to soothe your baby towards sleep? Warn your child against wandering? Inspire your teenager to enterprise? Amuse your sulking adolescent with a thrilling horror? Console the elderly or even get rid of your unwanted lover? You tell them a story and the story, like the forests it came out of, shifts to your need.

The Caledonian Forest has its own shadowy literature, particularly in the Welsh tales. Merlin, King Arthur’s magical counsellor, retreated to these woods in his madness after the battle of Arfderydd. The Caledonian Forest was, from a southern perspective, associated with madness and magic. The terror of the wild wood is older than the oldest stories, and they have grown out of it.

when jorge luis borges wrote in a copy of beowulf that he was working on translating, “beyond my anxiety, beyond this writing, the universe waits, inexhaustible, inviting.”
here’s the full poem! it’s so. something so transcendent something so inevitable and real and conceptually like looking into the abyss and hearing a choir sing your humanity back to you
