The Lincoln Imp
THE composer says of this piece, which he
' dedicated with affectionate esteem to Sir
Edward. Elgar, O.M.' : 'Concerning the Imp in Lincoln Cathedral, there is a legend that, when wandering bent upon mischief, he chanced to fall in with the North-East wind, riding upon it until the Cathedral was sighted. Bidding the North-East wind await his return, the Imp proceeded within. Vaulting the benches, he espied the bell rope, jangled the bells, strummed upon tho organ, tore the vestments to shreds, and broko the brazen candlesticks across his knees.
' Intending to work his crowning mischief upon the altar, he found his way barred by an angel; putting out his hand to stroke the wonderful shining hair, he was, for his presumption, immediately turned to stone.
' Tho North-East wind still waits for him outside.'
