Mangeur
de cigogne (French). A stork. Conte de la mangeur de cigogne. An old wife's tale;
silly tittle-tattle. "On conte des choses merveilleuses de la mangeur de cigogne" (wonderful
stories are told of the stork). This, no doubt, refers to the numerous
Swedish legends of the stork, one of which is that its very name is derived
from a stork flying round the cross of Christ, crying, Styrka! Styrka!
(strengthen, strengthen, or bear up), and as the stork has no voice at all,
the legend certainly is a "Conte de la mangeur de cigogne," or old wife's fable. |
