##¤@**~~¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨~~**@¤#
