And ye shall be self-satisfied.

"A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of [his] mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him." Proverbs 12:14

I perceive that it is good that a man should be satisfied, and enjoy the good of all his labor that he takes on all the days of his life;
cf [Ecc. 2:24, 3:12-13, 3:22,5:18]

I pity those who labor yet are never satisfied in this life, and who at their end run up against a wall; having attained no joy nor self-satisfaction in this life, die, without a hope to breach that wall, never attaining true joy nor self-satisfaction, not on this side, nor on that.

"Those who glitter in the glory of the hummingbird, meaning
Death
Those who sit in the stye of contentment, meaning
Death..."

Oh, NOW I get it. The four stones left unchosen represent the 4 horses of the apocalype which, yet for a time, remain restrained, while the one chosen and flung, destryoying the heathen by it own emmersion in grey matter, represents the path of salvation.

Either that or a duck.

I bet it's the duck.
