Intriguing. For example, the last two seven stages of man are ‘elderly man’ and then ‘decrepid old man’. Thunder is made of a brimstone-like vapour. Animals are divided into categories such as ‘herd-cattle’ (eg bull and ram), ‘labouring-beasts’ (eg horse and elephant), ‘wild-beasts’ (eg hedgehogs and tygers) and ‘wild-cattle’ which range from a mole to a unicorn. Not sure I understand all the distinctions, but love it!Paeony Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129555451791248798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-67329641910413160692014-12-16T16:56:23.710+00:002014-12-16T16:56:23.710+00:00That was just like a Christmas stocking of goodies...That was just like a Christmas stocking of goodies!
