Perhaps the most striking, and I may say the most inexplicable, use of the symbol of the butterfly is the so-called Hokona or Butterfly virgin slab used in the Antelope ceremonies of the Snake dance at Walpi, where it is associated with the tadpole water symbol. The most beautiful of all the butterfly designs are the six figures on the vase reproduced in plate CXXXV, b.
It is evidently similar to that figured in a of the same plate, and has representations of antennæ and extended proboscis, the latter organ placed as if extracting honey from the flower. The conventional flower is likewise shown in e of this plate. The two crescentic designs in plate CXXXV, a, are regarded as butterflies.
To the present day people do not use the forbidden words; or if compelled to they spit on the ground first; even Christian converts do not like to infringe the rule if many people are present and usually speak of a person with a forbidden name as the father, or mother of such and such a child. CXXXV. Palo.
Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven and earth, and in the sea, and in all deep places. PSALM cxxxv. 4, 5, 6. Were you ever puzzled to find out why the Psalms are read every Sunday in Church, more read, indeed, than any other part of the Bible? If any of you say, No, I shall not think you the wiser.
It must also be pointed out that there is a close likeness between some of these so-called conventionalized figures of birds and those of moths or butterflies. If, for instance, they are compared with the figures of the six designs of the upper surface of the vase shown in plate CXXXV, b, we note especially this resemblance.
CXXXV. The funeral procession was made up as follows: First, four warriors proceeded, one after the other, along a narrow path on the dike walls, each beating a slow rhythm with a stick on the long, black, Banawi war shield, each shield, however, being striped differently with white-earth paint.
My dear Sir, The hurry of a farmer in this particular season, and the indolence of a poet at all seasons, will, I hope, plead my excuse for neglecting so long to answer your obliging letter of the 5th August. CXXXV. To HIS BROTHER, WILLIAM BURNS, SADDLER, NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. ELLISLAND, 14th Aug. 1789.
The Christian name he found of course in the punning sonnets, CXXXV. and CXLIII.; the surname was, according to him, hidden in the seventh line of the 20th Sonnet, where Mr. W. H. is described as A man in hew, all HEWS in his controwling.
They throw themselves, therefore, on the patronage of the government, and pray that its energy may be interposed in aid of their poverty and ignorance, to restore them to their liberty, and to extend to them that retribution which the laws of every country mean to extend to those who suffer unjustly. LETTER CXXXV. TO JOHN ADAMS, November 19, 1785 Paris, November 19, 1785. Dear Sir,
"Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places." PSALM cxxxv. 6. There are three words which God has used to tell us about His work which we call "The Creation." We read, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." "And God made two great lights." "And the Lord God formed man."
