ACT 2
Act 2
Scene 1
Egypt, the pyramids, between the Sphinx's paws
WITCH1
[Washing clothing, trying to get blood out of some clothes] (1)
Wash, spin, wash. The blood comes off little by little. Back from
the
little bear is the great bear, Kustenhin and Ivoirie, Kynnovor, Tudwal, Urbrien, Turmwr Morvawr Gwrvawr, Conan Meriadoc, Eudaf Octavious,
Karadoc,
and Bran. (2)
[to Falcon]
Sit here boy in these monuments, mysterious.
FALCON
[bows]
Yes, mother, for man justly fears you and you tremble before these sets of worked stones set in the deserts of Egypt that confound every philosopher
from beginning to end their meaning. (3)
[to Witch2]
None, what may you in the pot? A haggis?
WITCH2
[muttering]
Eigyr; Amlawdd Wledig and his Gwen, spawned of Cunedda's Cotandini
and
Gwawl, daughter of hen Coel of Colchester. (4)
[notices him]
No I do not. It is a soup. Salmon fed all its life on acorns, beer drilled out of a mountain, immortal apples of gold, feathers from the phoenix ready
to burst and be reborn, apples form Eden's tree of knowledge,
Pandora's
hair, dragon's pearls, drops of our blood, super strings,
philosopher's
stone, and other knowledgeable things.
FALCON
Sounds a delightful stew, Nona. (5)
[sticks his hand into the pot]
Mind if I take a taste?
WITCH2
No.
[taps his hand with a spoon]
Suck your thumb if you like boy (5) , for backwards from Amalawdd
is
Kynwal; Ffrwdr and Lambor of Logres, who is of Alan and
Terdelshoye's
seed; Turmur Morvawr; Conan Meriadok, Evdaf, Karadok, and Brane.
(4)
WITCH 3
My poor boy.
[hugs him]
Sucking your thumb. Come lay here on my breast thinking of mysterious things that will be, what was, may be soon to come, or of this
great lion's quierry. (6)
FALCON
Yea, mother, I will.
[aside]
Though I rather lay my head on that lake fairy's breast and crack open some
shellfish. Yet look, at this Nile ford, one of my mothers do wash
so
clothes drenched in blood, I fear whose they may be.
WITCH1
[washing]
Of this beast, Sphinx, did ask the answer is albeit Tacticus preceeded Paternus and paternus proceeded Aeternus who proceeded Cunedda that a man as a babe crawling in the mornin' of life has four legs to use -
the arms
and knees. (4, 6)
WITCH2
[fixing her stew]
After which man uses to legs to walk in the mid- part of its life so that
one can trace Lambor of Logres back though Manael, Carcelos
Castellors,
Jaoshua, Brickus Mazadan, and finally to Alan. (4,6)
WITCH3
Brickus's bother can pawn Evgen Efrag, Lailiez Bliocadran of York, Addanz
Gales li Cause and his Philosophine, Gahmuret Pellinore, and the
one to
achieve the Grail in hertho the in the evening of life a man might
use
a cane to walk giving the appearance of walking on three legs. (6,
7)
FALCON
A decade or three with you mothers, lying on your breasts. Peace
maintained, the High King's days are set like eternal spring.
WITCH 3
Though my son, Bran is to die soon, his life-line quickly
snipped off like me with thread and sheers.
[Falcon jumps up]
WITCH 2
What is the matter with you, boy? I have just finished the stew?
Would you not want something to eat?
FALCON
Please excuse me, mothers I must go and make sure my word to
Viviene is kept, for the sword should be returned and be taken up by a
greater man.
[Exit Falcon]
WITCH 1
What an honorable child we have sisters, considering his
various natures.
WITCH 2
If you say so, sister.
WITCH 3
True, history will not be kind with him; he will be much
construed as much as a sailfish or a part of a machine that can fly
that carries death from the sky like a hurricane. (8)
Extent
One:
Reference to the washer in the ford, the Banshee who is seems to wash
the clothes of the dead, slain in battle.
Two:
Possible linage of King Arthur, son of Uthur, son of Kustenhin and Ivoirie;
Kustenhin is the son of Kynnovor, son of Tudwal, son of Urbrien,
son of Turmwr Morvawr Gwrvawr, son of Conan Meriadoc, son of Eudaf
Octavious, son of Karadoc, and son of King Bran.
Three:
monuments, the pyramids
Four:
More possible linage of King Arthur
Five:
Cauldron of Knowledge where a hero sticks his thumb in tastes it and
sucks on the thumb to gain the knowledge of all things.
Six:
Lion, Sphinx and her riddle, "I walk in the morning with four legs, I walk
in the afternoon on two, I walk in the evening on three. What am I?"
A Greek Hero answered, "Man."
Seven:
Linage of Percival
Eight:
" True, history will not be kind with him, etc."
Historians and scholars of the Classics have hard time placing Merylin or
Falcon, who seems to quote from everything from the Movie "Excalibur," Shakespeare, to Monty Python. He is usually seen as a survivor of the lost Continent of Atlantis, a druid, a Changeling, child of a demon or a dragon,
a bastard, a druid, a wizard, teacher, and maker of kings.
Merlin is also the name of a type of Sailfish and the engine of several types of early World War Two Bombers of the RAF, which were escorted by the
Hurricane Fighters.
There is a legend in Cornwall that the Ghost of Merylin was seen (like that of Arthur at Dover during WWII) the wizard was seen raising a terrible storm that destroyed the Spanish Armada, a failed invasion of England in AD 1688. So in some historical irony, a Merlin was again "protecting" England
under the guise of the RAF.
