Mead and ancient roads in a world of wonders
The text blends notes on mead as an early honey wine with vivid digressions about cat worship in Egypt, Roman attitudes to cats, and the Grand Trunk road in India. It weaves history from ancient drink to long-distance travel, praising enduring landscapes and urging acceptance of things as they are.
