Excerpt from The Heart O' Mary: A Mystery Play Done in English Verse
The little play which follows is written in the religious spirit of the old Mysteries, but without any attempt to ape either the quaintness of their style or the delightful naviete of their approach to the gospel story. The legend, if I may use the word in a technical sense, is, so far as I know, a new one and, while it follows the scriptural nar rative in the main, I have not hesitated to exercise the artist's prerogative of imaginative selection, addition and order, coloring the facts with fancy as did those unnamed, cloistered brothers of my craft eight hundred years ago.
