But, joking aside, I love the fox and chickens analogy. Now that England is about to abolish fox hunting Reynard is going to be slaughtering even more chickens. ================================================================= Reynard the Fox, celebrated hero of the medieval beast epics, works predominantly in verse which became increasingly popular after c.1150. They are found chiefly in Latin, French, Low German, Dutch, High German, and English. Most of the stories reflect in biting satire the peasant's criticism and contempt for the upper classes. An episode at once outstanding and typical is the funeral of Reynard, with the pious laments of his late enemies and his devastating resurrection from the grave. ================================================================= FG
