fakename: A glowing Valia hovers over a schoolgirl with sword (awe)
Trilogy, "The Flowering of the Rood", H.D., New Direction Books, 1998, verse 16 - 19

Mary Magdalene comes to a wise man, on a quest for myrrh, and talks with him.
---
[16]

I am Mary, she said, of a tower-town,
or once it must have been towered
for Magdala is a tower;
Magdala stands on the shore;
I am Mary, she said, of Magdala,
I am Mary, a great tower;
through my will and my power,
Mary shall be myrrh )
