What the Lion Cannot Manage the Fox Can; a New Stevens Point Mural
Last week I parked down in the square in Stevens Point and headed toward Franciscans Downtown to visit with Fr Finnian when I came across a new mural.
Always a fan of any kind of art, I was quick to snap a picture and pause to admire the artwork.
The phrase “What the Lion Cannot Manage The Fox Can” had me puzzled for a while, wondering what is meant and if it was something that I should know.
Well I finally looked it up, and it is an old German proverb, relating to the Brains of the Fox overcoming the Strength of the Lion.
I don’t know the artist who painted this, but I am glad that he did. Not only for adding a little more beauty to our town, but for pointing out a new (or old) phrase to me.
Thanks Alexander Landerman for the lesson and the art!
