Before going back over your question, just a hint at your remark
on "muscular stature" with respect to race : the ancient Chinese
called the original race, that race which lived in the 'Golden Age'
in the Supreme and Primordial Centre, the 'soft-boned race', while
Herodotus, as mentioned the other day, called those men "transparent
men".

Does this mean that a man of less physical stature is smaller in
spirit? The use of the word slim seems especially odd, as it would
preclude anyone of muscular stature as well as those amongst use whom
are more 'padded'.
