The similarity of the head and its appendages to the snake figure last described would lead me to regard the figure shown in plate CXXXII, c, as representing a like animal, but the latter picture is more elaborately worked out in details, and one of the legs is well represented. The breath line is drawn from the extremity of the snout halfway down the length of the body.
CXXXII. Twenty-four persons, usually all women, lined up along each side of the trough, and, accompanying their own songs by rhythmic beating of their pestles on the planks strung along the sides of the trough, each row of happy toilers alternately swung in and out, toward and from the trough, its long heavy pestles rising and falling with the regular "click, click, thush; click, click, thush!" as they fell rebounding on the plank, and were then raised and thrust into the palay-filled trough.
Then they agreed that they were all three fools and had better divide the plantains equally among them and go home; and that is what they did. CXXXII. The Cure for Laziness. There was once a man who lived happily with his wife, but she was very lazy; when work in the fields was at its height she would pretend to be ill.
Not having heard from him, I mention it to you, lest they should be stopped any where. I am, with great respect, Dear Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, Th: Jefferson. LETTER CXXXII. TO RICHARD O'BRYAN, November 4, 1785 Paris, November 4, 1785. Sir,
The rudely drawn picture on the bowl figured in plate CXXXII, f, would be identified as a frog, save for the presence of a tail which would seem to refer it to the lizard kind. But in the evolution of the tadpole into the frog a tailed stage persists in the metamorphosis after the legs develop.
The most elaborate of all the pictures of reptiles found on ancient Tusayan pottery is shown in plate CXXXII, e, in which the symbolism is complicated and the details carefully worked out. A few of these symbols I am able to decipher; others elude present analysis.
Augustine's Missionary Manual, with the questions in Consecration Service turned into petitions, Psalm cxxxii., cxxxi., li.; Lesson i Tim. iii.; special prayer for the Elect Bishop among the heathen, for the conversion of the heathen; and the Gloria in Excelsis.
I believe we must look toward the east, whence the ancestors of the Kokop or Firewood people are reputed to have come, for the origin of the symbolic markings of the snakes represented on Sikyatki ceramics. One of the most striking of these occurs on the inside of the food basin shown in plate CXXXII, a.
While from the worn character of the middle of the food bowl illustrated in plate CXXXII, b, it is not possible to discover whether the animal was apodal or not from the crosshatching of the body and the resemblance of the appendages of the head to those of the figure last considered, it appears probable that this pictograph likewise was intended to represent a snake of mystic character.
God has 'put His name' in the Temple, as the descent of the Glory to rest between the cherubim visibly showed, and thus has fulfilled Solomon's petition; but the answer surpasses the prayer in that the presence of 'the Name' is promised 'for ever. Similarly, in Psalm cxxxii., the answer to the petition 'Arise into Thy rest' transcends the petition which it answers, and adds the same promise of perpetuity, 'This is My rest for ever. Again, Solomon had prayed, 'that Thine eyes may be open towards this house, and God answers with the expanded promise that not His eyes only, but His heart shall be there perpetually.
