An opening exists at the lower end of the dwelling, and the interior is carefully lined with soft substances, well interwoven with the outward netting, and it is finished with an external layer of horse-hair, while the whole is protected from sun and rain by a natural canopy of leaves. The Rufous-necked Weaver Bird, as described by Brehm, shows itself equally clever.
"Webster." "Webster Webster. H'm I my memory faileth to recall the name. Condition?" "Weaver." "Weaver! God keep us!" The king was staggered, from his summit to his foundations; one clerk fainted, and the others came near it. The chairman pulled himself together, and said indignantly: "It is sufficient. Get you hence." But I appealed to the king. I begged that my candidate might be examined.
The fierce though exquisite weaver of rhymes, who had been the idol of the nation and the drawing-room, was sought after by the highest and most cultured in the land.

And even the border was not left to the mind of the weaver, but was carefully and consistently planned by the artist to accompany his greater work, if greater it was. Raphael himself set that fashion.
