anagram with golova/Golovin
From
Date
Body
I may err, but it seems to me that this anagram was devised by VN, not me:
GOLOVA + IN VINO VERITAS + BARN = IVAN GOLOVIN + SATIRA + BREVNO
golova is Russian for "head;" In vino veritas, "in wine is truth," is a Latin proverb; satira is Russian for "satire;" brevno is Russian for "log"
Brevno does become a god in Vladimir Solovyov's fable "Эфиопы и бревно" ("The Ethiopians and a Log," 1894).
