Armenian medical manuscript on Horse Healing 13th century

Everyone whacks her with tiny blows the way you peel an egg. With desperate bursts of perfume she strikes back at the world. With sharp giggles she gets even for all the sadness, and with quick little fallings-in-love, like burps and hiccups of feeling.
