mickle

I come to the end of things, dear friend, and he waxes mickle; my tides have gone slack and flaccid, while his swell newly to proxigean spring and rush through the gut.

“She will say, God’s Feet, but my sons are of mickle might!”

There’s a Jamaican phrase, “Every mickle mek a muckle,” which means “Every little bit adds up.”

Many a mickle makes a muckle NECESSITY, so the proverb has it, is the mother of invention.

And therefore as long as she lives I will be harboured with her, for she makes mickle of me.”
