"The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" is the title of a story within the story of
_The Man in the High Castle_ (PKD). Germany and Japan win WWII in the
PKD. And "The Grasshopper Lies Heavy"'s the title of a subversive
alternate history story where the Allies win WWII.
"The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" originates with Eccl 12:5. That
Biblical verse pertains to a man's second childhood, an experience which
is terrifying.
There's a mountain on the other side of a highway from a pond near
my back yard. In warm weather, it's a common for me to pedal a bicycle
up and down the mountain. It works best for me to use the rear brake as
my primary brake because the thought of leading with the front brake on
the way down is just too terrifying.
