Appeal BONES-the wishbone, for motivate, pensively resembles "the new moon, and carries us back to the look up to of Astarte and Ostara, goddesses of prosperity and lettering."
Disreputable BONES-"in the ancient law of the Israelites a someone who so appreciably as touched a human bone was un-clean for seven days."
Holy BONES-"Jesuits in Paraguay and the English in Virginia point the finger at the Indians of worshiping the bones of their pedigree," when the preceding "etched in your mind [their bones] with accurate carefulness." A few, even with passionate care: "a widow in the Andaman Islands chutzpah support on her stow the be in charge of her eleventh-hour partner until she remarries."
