{Roe} Deer

        Woven Of Various Grasses.         
 The Deer Has A  Crown Of  Rowan, And  Is 
         Looking At The Viewer.]          
                                          
                                     
                               
                                     
                                          
 In The North, The Deer Is Often Used  As 
 A Symbol  For  The  Forest'S Agency,  Or 
    Its Self-Knowledge. Watching Eyes.    
                                          
 Warmer Regions Instead  Ascribe  It  The 
 Knife  (Teeth, Rumors  Of Violence),  Or 
    Obsession (Unblinking Eyes, Always    
      Awake, Scrapie-Like Behavior).      
                                          
                                     
                               
                                     
                                          
 The Deer Is A  Cross Between A Horse And 
 A  Dog. It  Bears  A  Resemblance  To  A 
 Young    Salix    Tree,   And    Has   A 
     Sweet-Smelling Nose, Like Honey.     
                                          
 The Horns Of A Deer  Is  Called Antlers. 
 They Have A Complex  Fractal Shape,  And 
 Are  Believed  To  Enable  The  Deer  To 
 "Fold" Through  Passages Which Should Be 
 Too Narrow For  Them. Antlers  From Dead 
 Deer   Seem    To   Lose   This   Power. 
                                          
 A Deer'S  Heart Has  Two Chambers, Where 
 It Stores  All The  Secrets It Might See 
 During  The  Course Of It'S  Life.  With 
 Age  The  Secrets  Will  Harden  Into  A 
    Caramellized Structure, Which Will    
 Eventually  Block The Flow Of Blood, And 
              Kill The Deer.
