Sharp was not alone. In 1914, a festival was started
in Glastonbury. It ran every year until 1927. It was organised
by Rutland Boughton, who wanted it to be the centre
of this new English culture. He composed an opera
for the festival, which became a national sensation. It was called The Immortal Hour. It is set in a dark,
mysterious wood, where there are powerful,
ancient forces. They can be frightening, but
they are also a way of connecting with a forgotten
natural order of power in England. They are the lordly ones
in Glastonbury. It ran every year until 1927. It was organised
