"It was wrong to do this," said the angel - Stephen Crane

I found another good one by Stephen Crane.

There are two new words here-

mekolé, puppy  (me + kolé (dog))

and

mebren, baby sheep, lamb (me + bren (sheep))

For some reason I have yet to come up with a way of making something an "offspring" in Sandic.  I had an older word, though, "menahx" (now "menax") which meant "kitten".  I decided I liked the way it looked and am going to use the prefix me- to mean "young of" or "offspring of".  Hooray unrelated-to-anything-else prefixes.

What, me worry?

"It was wrong to do this," said the angel

"It was wrong to do this," said the angel.
"You should live like a flower,
Holding malice like a puppy,
Waging war like a lambkin."

"Not so," quoth the man
Who had no fear of spirits;
"It is only wrong for angels
Who can live like the flowers,
Holding malice like the puppies,
Waging war like the lambkins."

Stephen Crane

"It is wrong that you should have done that way," an angel said.

"It's wrong that you should have done that way," an angel said.

"You should live like a flower,

be angry like puppies are,

and wage war like baby sheep."

"You have not spoken truly," a man 

without fear of spirits replied-

"It's only bad to do that way if one is an angel,

because they are capable of living like flowers,

being angry like puppies are,

and waging war like baby sheep."
