The Prophecy of the Pigge's Hede (3.55)

The Merchant Farmer of Norwich tells that he owes his presence of the pilgrimage to a stolen pig for which a poor man was hung though he only wished to provide for his family. All that was left of the pig was its head, but he was so happy that the thief was brought to justice he set it with pride on the feast that night. But in the middle of the feast, the pig speaks, telling the company of the terrible life it had at the hands of its cruel owner and how it was happy to be stolen by the poor man who treat it with such loving kindness that its death was a gladness compared to the life it had known. The pig tells him that he may only save his soul by doing penance and pilgrimage.

about

Hermione Harvestman UK

'I feel like Wainwright - we are both hermetic ramblers. He made his books for when he was no longer capable of rambling his beloved fells, and I made my music for when I'm no longer able to ramble the by-ways of Albion - but only to listen, and think "Was that really me? That solitary figure who stood in a landscape dreaming of ages past in dread fear of the future."
