Meta-lect 42 (Quirquincho)



25 February 2011. Sun amidst rain...or...

The fate of the quirquincho. But can such an adorable creature have a fate? This small, wiggly being--mammalian, they say--held in the right hand, gently, by it's implacable back. The combination of shell plate and fur--a few bristles, that is, and a shaggy hairy row along bottom of shell. Carapace--the shield or covering, as with Ulysses. A rounded banner of bronze--bas relief--and the story of all time...

(for Leonard)
