Learning, eloquence, and the like of these, are the adornments of the lamp, but it does not matter whether the lamp be a gorgeous affair of gilt and crystal, or whether it be a poor piece of block tin; the main question is: are there wick and oil in it? The pitcher may be gold and silver, or costly china, or it may be a poor potsherd. Never mind.
When "Hollo, ho!" cried the corporal from the rear; "rein up your tongues, the devil blister them, or I'll clap a martingale on them." "I will not peace at the commands of the profane," said Gabriel. "Nor I neither," said Mause, "for the bidding of no earthly potsherd, though it be painted as red as a brick from the Tower of Babel, and ca' itsell a corporal."
A bit of brick, a flat stone, a shell, the lid of a blacking box, indeed any small object that can be moved by the foot can be used as what is known as the "Potsherd." After choosing who shall be first, second, etc., the player stands at taw and tosses the potsherd into division number one.
None, therefore, has yielded so much evidence. But we have no reason to consider Silchester exceptional in its character. Such scraps as we possess from other sites point to similar Romanization elsewhere. FVR, for instance, recurs on a potsherd from the Romano-British country town at Dorchester in Dorset.
So saying, she gave the lad a piece of broken potsherd, with these words inscribed on it "Kill the bearer at once, and sprinkle his blood like water!" Now, as the son of seven Queens could not read, he took the fatal message cheerfully, and set off to find the white Queen's mother.
That diligent enquirer Hero of Alexandria discovered this lately. "But our little invalid has had enough of it, we must not overheat him. Now, take a linen cloth that one will do though it is not very fine. Fold it together, wet it nicely with cold water there is some in that miserable potsherd there and now I will show you how to lay it on the child's throat.
'You are very severe, dear lady! said Cargrim, rising to take his leave, for he was anxious to extricate himself from his very uncomfortable and undignified position. 'Solomon was even more severe, Mr Cargrim. He said, "Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross." I fancy there were Mrs Panseys in those days, Mr Cargrim.
The mass beside the atom; the strip of ruined wall and the broken bowl, threatening fraternization of every sort of rubbish. Sisyphus had thrown his rock there and Job his potsherd. Terrible, in short. It was the acropolis of the barefooted.
She eats her porridge out of an old basket and her relish, in which no salt is put, from a potsherd. The basket is afterwards thrown away. On the seventh day the aged matrons gather together, go with the girl to a stream, and throw her into the water. In returning they sing songs, and the old woman, who directs the proceedings, carries the maiden on her back.
Then, while he could still pick out the red potsherd, he approached the wall, leant over it, and, failing to detect anything with his eyes, passed his fingers down the stones. They alighted on a nail; a nail thrust lightly into the mortar below the coping stone. For what purpose? His blood beginning to move more quickly Claude asked himself the question. To support a rope?
