Marsyas in Flanders by Vernon Lee

“Marsyas in Flanders” by Vernon Lee, pen identify for Violet Paget, revealed in 1900, is a richly atmospheric story that blends parts of mythology, artwork, and horror. The story mixes parts of classical mythology with Christian themes. It facilities round an historical carving of the crucified Christ – minus its arms and cross – which washes up within the twelfth century on a seaside in Flanders. As soon as possession of the relic is established, it’s hung within the native church at Dunes and miracles begin to occur. This turns the minor fishing village into a spot of pilgrimage and worship. However the miracles change into stranger and extra threatening – demonic, even and the church authorities are pressured to step in and examine. What they discover causes them to take very drastic motion.

“You might be proper. This isn’t the unique crucifix in any respect. One other one has been put as an alternative. Il y a eu substitution,” and the little previous Antiquary of Dunes nodded mysteriously, fixing his ghostseer’s eyes upon mine.

   He stated it in a scarce audible whisper. For it occurred to be the vigil of the Feast of the Crucifix, and the as soon as well-known church was filled with semi-clerical individuals adorning it for the morrow, and of previous women in unusual caps, clattering about with pails and brooms. The Antiquary had introduced me there the very second of my arrival, lest the group of devoted ought to stop his exhibiting me every part subsequent morning.

   The well-known crucifix was exhibited behind rows and rows of unlit candles and surrounded by strings of paper flowers and colored muslin and garlands of candy resinous maritime pine; and two lighted chandeliers illumined it.

   “There was an change,” he repeated, trying spherical that nobody would possibly hear him. “Il y a eu substitution.”

   For I had remarked, as anybody would have carried out, on the first look, that the crucifix had each look of French work of the thirteenth century, boldly practical, whereas the crucifix of the legend, which was a piece of st. Luke, which had hung for hundreds of years within the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem and been miraculously solid ashore at Dunes in 1195, would absolutely have been a roughly Byzantine picture, like its miraculous companion of Lucca.

   “However why ought to there have been a substitution?” I inquired innocently.

   “Hush, hush,” answered the Antiquary, frowning, “not right here — later, later —-“

   He took me all around the church, as soon as so well-known for pilgrimages; however from which, even like the ocean which has left it in a salt marsh beneath the cliffs, the tide of devotion has receded for hundreds of years. It’s a very dignified little church, of charmingly restrained and comely Gothic, constructed of a fragile pale stone, which the ocean damp has picked out, in bases and capitals and carved foliation, with stains of a beautiful brilliant inexperienced. The Antiquary confirmed me the place the transept and belfry had been left unfinished when the miracles had diminished within the fourteenth century. And he took me as much as the curious warder’s chamber, a big room up some steps within the triforium; with a fire and stone seats for the lads who guarded the valuable crucifix day and night time. There had even been beehives within the window, he instructed me, and he remembered seeing them nonetheless as a baby.

   “Was it regular, right here in Flanders, to have a guardroom in church buildings containing vital relics?” I requested, for I couldn’t bear in mind having seen something related earlier than.

   “Not at all,” he answered, trying spherical to verify we had been alone, “nevertheless it was vital right here. You could have by no means heard in what the chief miracles of this church consisted?”

   “No,” I whispered again, step by step contaminated by his mysteriousness, “until you allude to the legend that the determine of the Saviour broke all of the crosses till the suitable one was solid up by the ocean?”

   He shook his head however didn’t reply, and descended the steep stairs into the nave, whereas I lingered a second trying down into it from the warder’s chamber. I’ve by no means had so curious an impression of a church. The chandeliers on both aspect of the crucifix swirled slowly spherical, making nice swimming pools of sunshine which had been damaged by the shadows of the clustered columns, and among the many pews of the nave moved the sparkle of the sacristan’s lamp. The place was filled with the scent of resinous pine branches, evoking dunes and mountainsides; and from the busy teams beneath rose a subdued chatter of ladies’s voices, and a splash of water and clatter of pattens. It vaguely prompt preparations for a witches’ sabbath.

   “What kind of miracles did they’ve on this church?” I requested, after we had handed into the dusky sq., “and what did you imply about their having exchanged the crucifix — a few substitution?”

   It appeared fairly darkish outdoors. The church rose black, a imprecise lopsided mass of buttresses and high-pitched roofs, in opposition to the watery, moonlit sky; the large timber of the churchyard behind wavering about within the seawind; and the home windows shone yellow, like flaming portals, within the darkness.

   “Please comment the daring impact of the gargoyles,” stated the Antiquary pointing upwards.

   They jutted out, imprecise wild beasts, from the roof-line; and, what was positively horrifying, you noticed the moonlight, yellow and blue via the open jaws of a few of them. A gust swept via the timber, making the weathercock clatter and groan.

   “Why, these gargoyle wolves appear positively to howl,” I exclaimed.

   The previous Antiquary chuckled. “Aha,” he answered, “did I not inform you that this church has witnessed issues like no different church in Christendom? And it nonetheless remembers them! There — have you ever ever identified such a wild, savage church earlier than?”

   And as he spoke there out of the blue mingled with the sough of the wind and the groans of the weather-vane, a shrill quavering sound as of pipers inside.

   “The organist attempting his vox humana for tomorrow,” remarked the Antiquary.

II

Subsequent day I purchased one of many printed histories of the miraculous crucifix which they had been hawking all around the church; and subsequent day additionally, my buddy the Antiquary was adequate to inform me all that he knew of the matter. Between my two informants, the next could also be stated to be the true story.

   Within the autumn of 1195, after an evening of frightful storm, a ship was discovered solid upon the shore of Dunes, which was at the moment a fishing village on the mouth of the Nys, and precisely reverse a horrible sunken reef.

   The boat was damaged and upset; and near it, on the sand and bent grass, lay a stone determine of the crucified Saviour, with out its cross and, as appears possible, additionally with out its arms, which had been fabricated from separate blocks. A wide range of individuals instantly got here ahead to assert it; the little church of Dunes, on whose glebe it was discovered; the Barons of Croy, who had the suitable of jetsam on that coast, and likewise the nice Abbey of St. Loup of Arras, as possessing the non secular overlordship of the place. However a holy man who lived shut by within the cliffs, had a imaginative and prescient which settled the dispute. St. Luke in individual appeared and instructed him that he was the unique maker of the determine; that it had been certainly one of three which had hung around the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem; that three knights, a Norman, a Tuscan, and a person of Arras, had with the permission of Heaven stolen them from the Infidels and positioned them on unmanned boats, that one of many photographs had been solid upon the Norman coast close to Salenelles; that the second had run aground not removed from the town of Lucca, in Italy, and that this third was the one which had been embarked by the knight from Artois. As regarded its remaining resting place, the hermit, on the authority of St. Luke, really helpful that the statue must be left to determine the matter itself. Accordingly the crucified determine was solemnly solid again into the ocean. The very subsequent day it was discovered as soon as extra in the identical spot, among the many sand and bent grass on the mouth of the Nys. It was subsequently deposited within the little church of Dunes; and really quickly certainly the flocks of pious individuals who introduced it choices from all components made it vital and attainable to rebuild the church thus sanctified by its presence.

   The Holy Effigy of Dunes — Sacra Dunarum Effigies because it was referred to as — didn’t work the strange kind of miracles. However its fame unfold far and extensive by the unexampled wonders which turned the fixed accompaniment of its existence. The Effigy, as above talked about, had been found with out the cross to which it had evidently been fixed, nor had any researches or any subsequent storms introduced the lacking blocks to gentle, regardless of the numerous prayers which had been supplied for the aim. After a while subsequently, and a deal of dialogue, it was determined {that a} new cross must be supplied for the effigy to hold upon. And sure skilful stonemasons of Arras had been referred to as to Dunes for this goal. However behold! the very day after the cross had been solemnly erected within the church, an remarkable and terrifying truth was found. The Effigy, which had been hanging completely straight the earlier night, had shifted its place, and was bent violently to the suitable, as if in an effort to interrupt unfastened.

   This was attested not merely by lots of of laymen, however by the monks of the place, who notified the actual fact in a doc, present within the episcopal archives of Arras till 1790, to the Abbot of St. Loup their non secular overlord.

   This was the start of a collection of mysterious occurrences which unfold the celebrity of the marvellous crucifix throughout Christendom. The Effigy didn’t stay within the place into which it had miraculously labored itself: it was discovered, at intervals of time, shifted in another method upon its cross, and at all times as if it had gone via violent contortions. And someday, about ten years after it had been solid up by the ocean, the monks of the church and the burghers of Dunes found the Effigy hanging in its authentic outstretched, symmetrical angle, however O surprise! with the cross, damaged in three items, mendacity on the steps of its chapel.

   Sure individuals, who lived in the long run of the city nearest the church, reported to have been roused in the course of the night time by what that they had taken for a violent clap of thunder, however which was likely the crash of the Cross falling down, or maybe, who is aware of? the noise with which the horrible Effigy had damaged unfastened and spurned the alien cross from it. For that was the key: the Effigy, made by a saint and are available to Dunes by miracle, had evidently discovered some hint of unholiness within the stone to which it had been fixed. Such was the prepared rationalization afforded by the Prior of the church, in reply to an indignant summons of the Abbot of St. Loup, who expressed his disapproval of such uncommon miracles. Certainly, it was found that the piece of marble had not been cleaned from sinful human contact with the mandatory rites earlier than the determine was fixed on; a most grave, although excusable oversight. So a brand new cross was ordered, though it was seen that a lot time was misplaced about it; and the consecration came about just some years later.

   In the meantime the Prior had constructed the warder’s chamber, with the hearth and recess, and obtained permission from the Pope himself {that a} clerk in orders ought to watch day and night time, on the rating that so fantastic a relic is likely to be stolen. For the relic had by this time fully minimize out all related crucifixes, and the village of Dunes, via the concourse of pilgrims, had quickly grown right into a city, the property of the now fabulously rich Priory of the Holy Cross.

   The Abbots of St. Loup, nonetheless, appeared upon the matter with an unfavourable eye. Though nominally remaining their vassals, the Priors of Dunes had contrived to acquire step by step from the Pope privileges which rendered them just about impartial, and particularly, immunities which despatched to the treasury of St. Loup solely a small proportion of the tribute cash introduced by the pilgrims. Abbot Walterius particularly, confirmed himself actively hostile. He accused the Prior of Dunes of getting employed his warders to trump up tales of unusual actions and sounds on the a part of the nonetheless crossless Effigy, and of suggesting, to the ignorant, modifications in its angle which had been extra credulously believed in now that there was now not the straight line of the cross by which to confirm. So lastly the brand new cross was made, and consecrated, and on Holy Cross Day of the 12 months, the Effigy was fixed to it within the presence of an immense concourse of clergy and laity. The Effigy, it was now supposed, can be happy, and no uncommon occurrences would improve or maybe fatally compromise its fame for sanctity.

   These expectations had been violently dispelled. In November, 1293, after a 12 months of unusual rumours in regards to the Effigy, the determine was once more found to have moved, and continued transferring, or slightly (judging from the place on the cross) writhing; and on Christmas Eve of the identical 12 months, the cross was a second time thrown down and dashed in items. The priest on responsibility was, on the identical time, discovered, it was thought, lifeless, in his warder’s chamber. One other cross was made and this time privately consecrated and put in place, and a gap within the roof made a pretext to shut the church for some time, and to carry out the rites of purification vital after its air pollution by workmen. Certainly, it was remarked that on this event the Prior of Dunes took as a lot bother to decrease and if attainable to cover away the miracles, as his predecessor had carried out his finest to blazon the previous ones overseas. The priest who had been on responsibility on the eventful Christmas Eve disappeared mysteriously, and it was thought by many individuals that he had gone mad and was confined within the Prior’s jail, for worry of the revelations he would possibly make. For by this time, and never with out some encouragement from the Abbots at Arras, extraordinary tales had begun to flow into in regards to the goings-on within the church of Dunes. This church, be it remembered, stood a bit above the city, remoted and surrounded by large timber. It was surrounded by the precincts of the Priory and, save on the water aspect, by excessive partitions. However, individuals there have been who affirmed that, the wind having been in that course, that they had heard unusual noises come from the church of nights. Throughout storms, significantly, sounds had been heard which had been variously described as howls, groans, and the music of rustic dancing. A grasp mariner affirmed that one Halloween, as his boat approached the mouth of the Nys, he had seen the church of Dunes brilliantly lit up, its immense home windows flaming. However he was suspected of being drunk and of getting exaggerated the impact of the small gentle shining from the warder’s chamber. The curiosity of the townsfolk of Dunes coincided with that of the Priory, since they prospered significantly by the pilgrimages, so these tales had been promptly hushed up. But they undoubtedly reached the ear of the Abbot of St. Loup. And ultimately there got here an occasion which introduced all of them again to the floor.

   For, on the Vigil of All Saints, 1299, the church was struck by lightning. The brand new warder was discovered lifeless in the course of the nave, the cross damaged in two; and oh, horror! the Effigy was lacking. The indescribable worry which overcame everybody was merely elevated by the invention of the Effigy mendacity behind the excessive altar, in an angle of frightful convulsion, and, it was whispered, blackened by lightning.

   This was the top of the unusual doings at Dunes.

   An ecclesiastical council was held at Arras, and the church shut as soon as extra for practically a 12 months. It was opened this time and re-consecrated by the Abbot of St. Loup, whom the Prior-of Holy Cross served humbly at mass. A brand new chapel had been constructed, and in it the miraculous crucifix was displayed, dressed in additional splendid brocade and gems than regular, and its head practically hidden by one of the vital attractive crowns ever seen earlier than; a present, it was stated, of the Duke of Burgundy.

   All this new splendour, and the presence of the nice Abbot himself was presently defined to the devoted, when the Prior got here ahead to announce {that a} final and biggest miracle had now taken place. The unique cross, on which the determine had hung within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and for which the Effigy had spurned all others made by much less holy fingers, had been solid on the shore of Dunes, on the very spot the place, 100 years earlier than, the determine of the Saviour had been found within the sands. “This,” stated the Prior, “was the reason of the horrible occurrences which had stuffed all hearts with anguish. The Holy Effigy was now happy, it might relaxation in peace and its miraculous powers can be engaged solely in granting the prayers of the devoted.” One half of the forecast got here true: from that day ahead the Effigy by no means shifted its place, however from that day ahead additionally, no appreciable miracle was ever registered; the devotion of Dunes diminished, different relics threw the Sacred Effigy into the shade; and the pilgrimages dwindling to mere native gatherings, the church was by no means dropped at completion.

   What had occurred? Nobody ever knew, guessed, or maybe even requested. However, when in 1790 the Archiepiscopal palace of Arras was sacked, a sure notary of the neighbourhood purchased a big portion of the archives on the worth of waste paper, both from historic curiosity, or anticipating to acquire thereby details which could gratify his aversion to the clergy. These paperwork lay unexamined for a few years, until my buddy the Antiquary purchased them. Amongst them taken helter skelter from the Archbishop’s palace, had been sundry papers referring to the suppressed Abbey of St. Loup of Arras, and amongst these latter, a collection of notes in regards to the affairs of the church of Dunes; they had been, as far as their fragmentary nature defined, the minutes of an inquest made in 1309, and contained the deposition of sundry witnesses. To grasp their which means it’s essential to do not forget that this was the time when witch trials had begun, and when the proceedings in opposition to the Templars had set the style of inquests which may assist the funds of the nation whereas furthering the pursuits of faith.

   What seems to have occurred is that after the disaster of the Vigil of All Saints, October, 1299, the Prior, Urbain de Luc, discovered himself out of the blue threatened with a cost of sacrilege and witchcraft, of acquiring miracles of the Effigy by devilish means, and of changing his church right into a chapel of the Evil One.

   As a substitute of interesting to excessive ecclesiastical tribunals, because the privileges obtained from the Holy See would have warranted, Prior Urbain guessed that this cost got here initially from the wrathful Abbot of St. Loup, and, dropping all his pretensions with the intention to save himself, he threw himself upon the mercy of the Abbot whom he had hitherto flouted. The Abbot seems to have been happy by his submission, and the matter to have dropped after just a few authorized preliminaries, of which the notes discovered among the many archiepiscopal archives of Arras represented a portion. A few of these notes my buddy the Antiquary kindly allowed me to translate from the Latin, and I give them right here, leaving the reader to make what he can of them.

“Merchandise. The Abbot expresses himself happy that His Reverence the Prior has had no private data of or dealings with the Evil One (Diabolus). However, the gravity of the cost requires …” — right here the web page is torn.   “Hugues Jacquot, Simon le Couvreur, Pierre Denis, burghers of Dunes, being interrogated, witness:   “That the noises from the Church of the Holy Cross at all times occurred on nights of unhealthy storms, and foreboded shipwrecks on the coast; and had been very varied, comparable to horrible rattling, groans, howls as of wolves, and occasional flute taking part in. A sure Jehan, who has twice been branded and flogged for lighting fires on the coast and in any other case inflicting ships to wreck on the mouth of the Nys, being promised immunity, after two or three slight pulls on the rack, witnesses as follows: That the band of wreckers to which he belongs at all times knew when a harmful storm was brewing, on account of the noises which issued from the church of Dunes. Witness has usually climbed the partitions and prowled spherical within the churchyard, ready to listen to such noises. He was not unfamiliar with the howlings and roarings talked about by the earlier witnesses. He has heard inform by a countryman who handed within the night time that the howling was such that the countryman thought himself pursued by a pack of wolves, though it’s well-known that no wolf has been seen in these components for thirty years. However the witness himself is of the opinion that probably the most singular of all of the noises, and the one which at all times accompanied or foretold the worst storms, was a noise of flutes and pipes (quod vulgo dicuntur flustes et musettes) so candy that the King of France couldn’t have sweeter at his Courtroom. Being interrogated whether or not he had ever seen something? the witness solutions: ‘That he has seen the church brightly lit up from the sands; however on approaching discovered all darkish, save the sunshine from the warder’s chamber. That after, by moonlight, the piping and fluting and howling being uncommonly loud, he thought he had seen wolves, and a human determine on the roof, however that he ran away from worry, and can’t be positive.””Merchandise. His Lordship the Abbot needs the Proper Reverend Previous to reply really, putting his hand on the Gospels, whether or not or not he had himself heard such noises.   “The Proper Reverend Prior denies ever having heard something related. However, being threatened with additional proceedings (the rack?) acknowledges that he had incessantly been instructed of those noises by the Warder on responsibility.   “Question: Whether or not the Proper Reverend Prior was ever instructed anything by the Warder?   “Reply: Sure; however beneath the seal of confession. The final Warder, furthermore, the one killed by lightning, had been a reprobate priest, having dedicated the best crimes and obliged to take asylum, whom the Prior had stored there on account of the issue of discovering a person sufficiently brave for the workplace.   “Question: Whether or not the Prior has ever questioned earlier Warders?   “Reply: That the Warders had been certain to disclose solely in confession no matter that they had heard, that the Prior’s predecessors had stored the seal of confession inviolate, and that although unworthy, the Prior himself desired to do alike.   “Question: What had change into of the Warder who had been present in a swoon after the occurrences of Halloween?   “Reply: That the Prior doesn’t know. The Warder was loopy. The Prior believes he was secluded for that purpose.”

   A unpleasant shock had been, apparently, organized for Prior Urbain de Luc. For the following entry states that:

“Merchandise. By order of His Magnificence the Lord Abbot, sure servants of the Lord Abbot aforesaid introduce Robert Baudouin priest, as soon as Warder within the Church of the Holy Cross, who has been stored ten years in jail by His Reverence the Prior, as being of unsound thoughts. Witness manifests nice terror on discovering himself within the presence of their Lordships, and significantly of His Reverence the Prior. And refuses to talk, hiding his face in his fingers and uttering shrieks. Being comforted with variety phrases by these current, nay even most graciously by My Lord the Abbot himself, etiam threatened with the rack if he proceed stubborn, this witness deposes as follows, not with out a lot lamentation, shrieking and mindless jabber after the style of mad males.   “Question: Can he bear in mind what occurred on the Vigil of All Saints, within the church of Dunes, earlier than he swooned on the ground of the church?   “Reply: He can’t. It will be sin to talk of such issues earlier than nice non secular Lords. Furthermore he’s however an ignorant man, and likewise mad. Furthermore his starvation is nice.

   “Being given white bread from the Lord Abbot’s personal desk, witness is once more cross-questioned.

   “Question: What can he bear in mind of the occasions of the Vigil of All Saints?   “Reply: Thinks he was not at all times mad. Thinks he has not at all times been in jail. Thinks he as soon as went in a ship on sea, and so forth.   “Question: Does witness assume he has ever been within the church of Dunes?   “Reply: Can not bear in mind. However is certain that he was not at all times in jail.   “Question: Has witness ever heard something like that? (My Lord the Abbot having secretly ordered {that a} sure idiot in his service, a superb musician, ought to out of the blue play the pipes behind the Arras.)

   “At which sound witness started to tremble and sob and fall on his knees, and catch maintain of the gown even of My Lord the Abbot, hiding his head therein.

   “Question: Wherefore does he really feel such terror, being within the fatherly presence of so clement a prince because the Lord Abbot?   “Reply: That witness can’t stand that piping any longer. That it freezes his blood. That he has instructed the Prior many occasions that he is not going to stay any longer within the warder’s chamber. That he’s afraid for his life. That he dare not make the signal of the Cross nor say his prayers for worry of the Nice Wild Man. That the Nice Wild Man took the Cross and broke it in two and performed at quoits with it within the nave. That every one the wolves trooped down from the roof howling, and danced on their hind legs whereas the Nice Wild man performed the pipes on the excessive altar. That witness had surrounded himself with a hedge of little crosses, fabricated from damaged rye straw, to maintain off the Nice Wild Man from the warder’s chamber. Ah — ah — ah! He’s piping once more! The wolves are howling! He’s elevating the tempest.   “Merchandise: That no additional info will be extracted from witness who falls on the ground like one possessed and must be faraway from the presence of His Lordship the Abbot and His Reverence the Prior.”

III

Right here the minutes of the inquest break off. Did these nice non secular dignitaries ever get to be taught extra in regards to the horrible doings within the church of Dunes? Did they ever guess at their trigger?

   “For there was a trigger,” stated the Antiquary, folding his spectacles after studying me these notes, “or extra strictly the trigger nonetheless exists. And you’ll perceive, although these realized monks of six centuries in the past couldn’t.”

   And rising, he fetched a key from a shelf and preceded me into the yard of his home, located on the Nys, a mile beneath Dunes.

   Between the low steadings one noticed the salt marsh, lilac with sea lavender, the Island of Birds, an excellent sandbank on the mouth of the Nys, the place each type of sea fowl gathers; and past, the indignant whitecrested sea beneath an indignant orange afterglow. On the opposite aspect, inland, and showing above the farm roofs, stood the church of Dunes, its pointed belfry and jagged outlines of gables and buttresses and gargoyles and wind-warped pines black in opposition to the easterly sky of ominous furious pink.

   “I instructed you,” stated the Antiquary, stopping with the important thing within the lock of a giant outhouse, “that there had been a substitution; that the crucifix at current at Dunes just isn’t the one miraculously solid up by the storm of 1195. I imagine the current one could also be recognized as a life-size statue, for which a receipt exists within the archives of Arras, furnished to the Abbot of St. Loup by Estienne Le Mas and Guillaume Pernel, stonemasons, within the 12 months 1299, that’s to say the 12 months of the inquest and of the cessation of all supernatural occurrences at Dunes. As to the unique effigy, you shall see it and perceive every part.”

   The Antiquary opened the door of a sloping, vaulted passage, lit a lantern and led the way in which. It was evidently the cellar of some mediaeval constructing, and a scent of wine, of damp wooden, and of fir branches from innumerable stacked up faggots, stuffed the darkness amongst thickset columns.

   “Right here,” stated the Antiquary, elevating his lantern, “he was buried beneath this vault and so they had run an iron stake via his center, like a vampire, to forestall his rising.”

   The Effigy was erect in opposition to the darkish wall, surrounded by brushwood. It was greater than life-size, nude, the arms damaged off on the shoulders, the pinnacle, with stubbly beard and clotted hair, drawn up with an effort, the face contracted with agony; the muscular tissues dragged as of 1 hanging crucified, the ft certain along with a rope. The determine was acquainted to me in varied galleries. I got here ahead to look at the ear: it was leaf-shaped.

   “Ah, you will have understood the entire thriller,” stated the Antiquary.

   “I’ve understood,” I answered, not realizing how far his thought actually went, “that this supposed statue of Christ is an vintage satyr, a Marsyas awaiting his punishment.”

   The Antiquary nodded. “Precisely,” he stated drily, “that’s the entire rationalization. Solely I feel the Abbot and the Prior weren’t so fallacious to drive the iron stake via him once they eliminated him from the church.”

Finish.
