...something completely different
Oct. 12th, 2006 09:02 pmToday the Anglican Communion commemorates that extrordinarily tough bishop, S. Wilfred. I've always felt a great deal of affection for Wilfred, partly because of childhood visits to Ripon, but, I'm afraid, chiefly because of his appearance in Kipling's Rewards and Fairies, a splendid book. In honour of this, I thought I'd post the poem about 'Eddi, the priest of Wilfred' (really Wilf's biographer, Eddi Stephanus) which charmed me as a child.
