Finding
Wherever you go you will find him, says an anonymous voice, speaking of the mysterious Hooded Man. This strangely terrifying personage wanders the ancient forests of Britain, seemingly a reincarnated Robin Hood, and eventually perhaps an incarnation of Herne, the spirit of those forests. (For music that goes with this, listen to the also-legendary Clannad in their album Legend.)
He is everywhere, whether is a ruefully comic Robin Goodfellow, an oddly dangerous Puck, a legendary Prince of Thieves, or the undying hero who will return to set his people free. And that presence, whether the source is dead or not, is a warning to his enemies and a memorial to those who revere freedom and the right to self-governance. He is back, and while the forests may be silent and serene, they are now perilous.
