Lawrence knew from ancient histories and Celtic lore that the mistletoe-bearing oak tree was a place of ritual sacrifice and he felt those sacrifices so empathecally that he was impatient with anyone who could sit or flutter beneath an ancient oak and only see and feel the pleasantness of a moonlit night of the present time.
