A Juvenile with Remarkable Agility
A juvenile whose name brings to mind a small, pocket-sized cutting instrument
whose blade folds into the handle, propelled himself with great agility and
remarkable velocity in a parabolic arc the highpoint of which easily had
sufficient altitude to clear the oxidizing extremity of a tallow cylinder,
along the longitudinal axis of which ran a collection of interwoven threads.
Said threads enjoyed sufficient proximity one to another that the accompanying
capillary action overcame the force of gravity in transporting the molten fuel
to the point of combustion.
