Belshazzar trembled when he saw the fingers of a man's hand writing upon the wall, Mene tekel phares.
Richard de BuryThe Love of Books: The Philobiblon of Richard de BuryTranslated by Ernest Chester ThomasProject Gutenberg ebook #626
To sailors, oaths are household words; they will swear in the trance of the calm, and in the teeth of the tempest; they will imprecate curses from the topsail-yard-arms, when most they teeter over to a seething sea; but in all my voyagings, seldom have I heard a common oath when God’s burning finger has been laid on the ship; when His “Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin” has been woven into the shrouds and the cordage.
