	The Antigonish Review 137: Dana Wilde Essay
		In winter, goes a Micmac version, the bear (represented by the four bright stars of the dipper's cup, upside down) is on her back in death.
		The bear who, as you can see for yourself, has traveled past your campsite in the night is the descendant - the same bear - as the one circling the pole star year in and year out.
		I track bear in my imagination only, and if I ever come face to face with a living, growling fl bear in the settled boreal woods of central Maine, it will be by sheer chance, or fate.

	"Ursa Major, The Great Bear" -- skw9705h (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It is possible, with some imagination, to find a pattern that might represent a bear by using stars to the west of and below the dipper, but the stars which make up the remainder of the bear are considerably fainter than the stars in the Big Dipper.
		None of these names for the stars in the handle of the dipper is associated with a bear, so it is obvious that even the Arabs had some difficulty with such a long tail for a bear.
		The American Indians, who surprisingly saw the same pattern, knew very well that a bear's tail is short, and ascribed the stars in the handle of the dipper to three Indian hunters who were chasing the bear around the sky.

		The reign of Gregory the Great marks an epoch in papal history, and this is specially the case in respect to his attitude towards the imperial Government centered at Constantinople.
		In justice to the great pope, however, it must be added that he lost no opportunity for the exercise of his missionary zeal, making every effort to root out paganism in Gaul, Donatism in Africa, and the Schism of the Three Chapters in North Italy and Istria.
		His great claim to remembrance lies in the fact that he is the real father of the medieval papacy (Milman).
