THE NOBLE CASTLE
15. Why men are not born with horns or other weapons. 19. Why the nose is located above the mouth. 23 What opinions should be held concerning visions. 30. Why, as one can see from the darkness into the light, one cannot similarly see from the light into the darkness. 32. Why hay is the cause of weeping. 36. Why the fingers were made unequal. 38. Why men cannot walk when they are born, as animals do. 46. Why the living are afraid of dead bodies. |

The most striking natural instrument of power in man
and in many
animals is the teeth. The way they are arranged in rows and their
shining
smoothness are quite different from anything else belonging to the
body...Smoothness
and order, the manifest attributes of the teeth, have entered into the
very nature of power.
-- Crowds and Power, Elias Canetti

With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me, may I walk. With beauty behind me, may I walk. With beauty above me, may I walk. With beauty below me, may I walk. With beauty all around me, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk. In my old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk. It is finished in beauty. It is finished in beauty. Navajo Night Chant.
