Chapter IX The Spider — Industry — Standing Still
We come to the consideration of the spider, 211
Whose life is a lottery, and which is branded with ugliness, 212
It is, however, the type of the persevering worker, 213
An anecdote in illustration of its character, 214
Its web, and the mode of its construction, described, 215
Prudence and patience the characteristics of the spider, 216
All animals live by prey, and the spider has its foes, 217
Its existence is confined within a narrow circle, 218
And is easily terminated, 219
