from: The Perennial Philosphy by: Aldous Huxley When the hen has laid, she must needs cackle. And what does she get by it? Straightway comes the chough and robs her of her eggs, and devours all that of which she would have brought forth her live birds. And just so that wicked chough, the devil, beareth away from the cackling anchoresses, and swallowing up all the goods they have brought forth, and which ought, as birds, to bear them up towards heaven, if it had not been cackled. (modernized from the Ancren Riwle) Top of page
