(When pointing out the faults of a work, one should not censure the personal failings of its author.) Well, as I was saying, it happened (and here is the tale) that a Turkey and a Raven challenged each other to a flying race. Which reached the appointed finish 5 first, let anyone judge who has seen them both in flight. “Wait a moment,” said the Turkey to the Raven from afar. 10 “Do you know what I’m thinking? That you’re black and ugly. Listen: I also notice,” he shouted still louder, “that you’re a great hulking bird 15 of very ill omen. Away with you! You disgust me, you filthy swine; yes, for you consider it a treat to feed on dead bodies.” 20 —“None of that is to the point,” the Raven replied, “for all we’re concerned with here is how well I fly.” When he can find no fault in a wise man’s works, 25 the fool will often bring charges against the man himself.
