Yes, the chronicles were full of these gods born of virgins, of crucifixions, he could remember sixteen, of these solar myths. He caught tripping in a thousand cases the translations of our holy books.
There was no particle of it that he did not recognize, all stolen by Labiskwee from Labiskwee bread-fragments saved far back in the days ere McCan lost the flour; strips and strings of caribou-meat, partly gnawed; crumbles of suet; the hind-leg of the snowshoe rabbit, untouched; the hind-leg and part of the fore-leg of the white weasel; the wing dented still by her reluctant teeth, and the leg of the snow-bird pitiful remnants, tragic renunciations, crucifixions of life, morsels stolen from her terrible hunger by her incredible love.
