Original artwork, not a still
Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton
Curse away! And let me tell thee, Beauseant, a wise proverb The Arabs have, “Curses are like young chickens, And still come home to roost.”
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The answer to a curse invokes chickens returning to roost as a warning that harmful words rebound on their source. The stated cultural provenance remains part of the speech, not a newly authenticated claim.
