Dear Leonard,
More kind of NicholasMarks but not as wonderful, yet
But like our Nicholas, I was sent on a little journey.
Analogy: You are acting like a dog.
Metaphor: You are a dog.
Hypocatastasis: Dog!
Still a snake or serpent, I don't get this hypocatastasis stuff.
Anyway newnature is different, I like different.

Ursa Minor - the lesser sheep-fold. By placing in its very tip the most important, wondrous, and mysterious Polar Star, the central star of the heaven, round which all others revolve. The brightest star, at the point of the tail, is the most important in the whole heaven. it is named Al Ruccaba, which means the turned or ridden on, and is today the Polar or central star, which does not revolve in a circle as does every other star, but remains, apparently, fixed in its position.
But though the star does not revolve like the others, the central point in the heaven is very slowly but steadily moving. When these constellations were formed, the Dragon possessed this important point, and the star in Draco, marked this central point. But, by its gradual recession, that point is sufficiently near this star Al Reccaba, in the Lesser Sheepfold, for it to be what is called the Polar Star. The Polar Star has been removed from the Dragon, and is now in the Lesser Fold.
