nurturing foundation left us by ... fine harvests Explanation: Really not an easy one. Pushing the boat right out, you could say "The foundry sands from which xxx set us asail will see us return fully laden with gold and riches and fine tapestries, incense and myrrh ..." "We will time and time again return fully laden to the foundry sands from which XXX set us asail" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-03-08 00:06:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Work "CAST off" into the nautical imagery? |
