Lake Thun,
What did you see
Above your waters?
‘A hermit blazing
With Divine Fire,
Being lifted up
Into the sky.’
Lake Thun,
What now do you see
With your liquid eyes?
‘A giant fiend
Obstructing the mountains –
His legs like iron pillars,
Whose black wings stretch
Across the horizon,
. . .

Holy Ælfred
the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema to
the Union!
