Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.

Choosing it, till both hurler and the hurled,
One moves as well, always toward, toward.

These seem like bristles, and the hide is tough.
No claw or web here: each foot ends in hoof.
