Aidan Dun - Extract from Vale Royal (08 Jan 2009)
Here in a vision I saw the man-angel water-snake
dipping his head and tail in a font of sunlight,
safeguarding the Cathedral with his magnificent wingspan.
Here I stayed bathing in the sunlight myself
until my understanding went beneath the surface
and I was shown the plan of the song Vale Royal:
and the Stance of the Child in the Tree of Life-
the Royal Winged Son of the Liberation;
A song to explain the Golden Quatrain
and the mystical geography of Kings Cross,
a song for all navigators of the night-sea crossing...
Come. A direction into zones of darkness,
a passage to the spaces of discovery begins.
We shall make a voyage to the deep place called Vale Royal.
