"You know that grain wheat or something that Blackman took from the Egyptian mummy he brought over last spring " "Yes, he planted it " "Exactly. And all summer he was tending a little patch of something green up there in his back yard as fresh as the eyes of Pharaoh's daughter ever looked on "

We are all familiar with the couplet from Oppian: Nature her bounty to his mouth confined, Gave him a sword, but left unarmed his mind.
