Pagan's Crusade (2007)
Pagan's Crusade
“We have transgressed and have rebelled! Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction!’ ‘Be quiet!’ ‘Our end is near, our days are fulfilled, for our end is come!’ ‘Shut up!’ ‘Push off!’ ‘The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Sion!
’ The Patriarch’s puny warble doesn’t stand a chance. Not against this mighty tide of sound. Pure, unbridled, skull-cracking sound. Such a big noise to come out of such a little old man. It’s uncanny.
So what should I do? Shou...ld I drag him off ? Knock him out? Shout him down? (Impossible.) He doesn’t look very tough, but you never can tell with these maniacs. He might have the strength of Samson’s big brother.
If I don’t do something soon there’s going to be a fight. That’s obvious enough from the hisses. And the shouts. And the fruit stones bouncing off his naked skull. Perhaps I should turn my back and let them do their own dirty work.
But what’s this? Oh dear. Support from the spectators.MoreLess
