Here you have the open jaw of a dragon (the Harrowing of Hell) — an empty tomb, at one end of which are * the linen cloths laid by themselves ' and three spice-boxes, (the visit of the three Maries to the tomb) — an empty grave and cross triumphant (the resurrection). Then you have the visit of Mary, when she mistook our Lord for the gardener, the whole story being told by a tree, a spade, and a spice-box — a table spread with viands (the supper at Emmaus), and so on. It was not that our ancest...ors were more ignorant than our- selves that they found beauty and instruction in such things as these ; it was because the hurry of life had not killed their imagination.
But to return to our play. Nails being needed for the crucifixion, a smith is appealed to. He says his hands are too sore to work; his wife abuses him, saying his statement is false, and she bids him blow and she will make the nails. He shows his hands, and they see he cannot do even this ; or, as the poem of the Passion tells us, ' On his hands they saw disease, although, in fact, there was none.
