F. Minno’s Writings
1. Laws and Directives
d. Concerning Laws
31.04 At times in my youth, I griped about the constraints of the laws. Later, I often thanked Frya for her Tex and our ancestors for the laws that were established upon it.
Wralda — or ‘All-Feeder’ — has given me many years. Over many lands and seas have I roamed and, by all that I have seen, I am convinced that we alone are privileged by The Provider to have laws.
Lyda’s folk can neither make nor abide by laws; they are too dim and wild for that. Many of Finda’s tribes are clever enough, but they are greedy, haughty, false, unchaste, and murderous.
Toads puff themselves up, while they can do nothing but creep. Frogs cry: “work, work!”, though they do nothing but hop and fool about. The crows cry: “spare, spare!”, but they steal and devour all they get into their beaks.
Like all these is Finda’s folk: They bluster incessantly about good laws; all wish to make rules to avert evil, but no one wants to be bound by these themselves. He whose mind is most cunning, and thus strong, his cock crows “king!”, and the others must utterly submit to him until another comes who [032] drives him from his perch.[1]
Notes
- ↑ ‘his cock crows king’ — expression, still known in Dutch, meaning: ‘he rules’.
