Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly.

A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water pluckeda leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Antclimbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortlyafterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laidhis lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain thebirdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dovetake wing.One good turn deserves another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's all I could think to do, and after I did that, it let go.
