Thompson D1850.1: Immortality useless without eternal youth.

Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

D1850.1 is “Immortality useless without eternal youth.” The woman’s wish to live forever is followed by shrinking and loss of the ability to walk, eat, or drink while she still cannot die; she becomes mouse-sized and moves only once each year. This is the entry’s stated contrast between immortality and lost youth, directly in the same narrated passage.
