Conchiglia regale
Nor can the shell be counted among the gifts. To lift it into the receiver’s hands would require the receiver to rise, taking with her the weight of someone smaller. The whole arrangement would have to be suspended for this one contribution to become presentable.
It grew close about a single life. That life is gone; the hollow retains its measure. Another body can rest across it without fitting inside, and carry a further body in turn. What once marked the extent of an inhabitant now supports a weight that continues beyond it.
The closed gifts can be passed from hand to hand. We shall keep a separate account of these for the moment.
