Men enchanted by new maidens and changed into trees

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

kabbo (Jantje) (II)

<i>By a glance from the eye of a maiden (probably at a time when she would be usually kept in strict retirement) men became fixed in whatever position they then occupied, with whatever they were holding in their hands, etc., and became changed into trees which talked (L II.-2. 295-305).</i>
