Their arms fell out of their hands, and they shrunk under the ascendant which his genius gained over theirs.
עמוד 165 - The mode of killing them was perhaps the only modern remains of the grandeur of ancient hunting. On notice being given that a wild bull would be killed on a certain day, the inhabitants of the neighbourhood...
