“ It is a spider that trembles fixed on the edge of a stone; the abdomen on one side, and on the other the head. With so many feet the poor thing, and it cannot even then make up its mind. And, seeing it today stunned in such a difficulty, it grieved me so to see this traveler. It is an enormous spider, impeded by its abdomen from following its head. And I have thought of its eyes and of its numerous feet... And it grieved me so, this traveler!
