Hieroglyphics of Horapollo: Book II.: LXIV. How a Man That Never Stirs Out
Hieroglyphics of Horapollo, tr. Alexander Turner Cory, [1840]
When they would symbolise a man that never stirs
out, they depict an ANT AND THE WINGS OF A BAT; because, when these wings are placed over an ant's nest, none of them come forth.
