Sonnet of Lion & Prey, Christians and Lions

"incredible boldness"
this lion who roars to be a lion this trope in the jungle what interests it?
nothing that would hide itself but the representation of the wound the will to bleed
***
At 4 o'clock the court resumed; the judge finished chewing his biscuits, put on his wig; the public took back its seats in the gallery; the lion opened its jaws to that great justice and tenderness in the law
and they cheered; and they saw blood where there was none ... M.T.C. Cronin
