“Lux Perpetua” read by Brigid

The author is George Mackay Brown, a dramatist and poet, "widely regarded as one of the great Scottish poets of the 20th century." Mackay was a convert to Catholicism and had a tough life. He died in 1996. Brigid choose the artwork. I've put the words below the poem. The very short video starts halfway through – Brigid first recited the words without the paintings.

Lux Perpetua.

A star for a cradle

Sun for plough and net

A fire for old stories

A candle for the dead.

Lux perpetua

By such glimmers we seek you.
