You see in the historian a gloomy, hard, but determined gaze,––an eye that looks out as an isolated North Pole explorer looks out (perhaps so as not to look within, so as not to look back?)––there is snow––here is life silenced, the last crows which caw here are called "whither?"

—Divided into three distinct, widely separated parts—pars externa, pars interna, and pars media; pars externa : large; on posterolateral surface of shank; narrow proximally and distally; bounded anterolaterally by M. flexor perforans et perforatus digiti II and anteromedially by medial head of M. flexor perforatus digiti III; completely separate from pars interna and media except for common tendon of insertion; pars interna : large; on anteromedial surface of shank; narrow distally; bounded anterolaterally by M. peroneus longus and posteromedially by pars media (proximally) and medial head of M. flexor perforatus digiti III; broad sheet of tough connective tissue extending between distal parts of pars externa and pars interna; covering underlying M. flexor perforatus digiti III (medial head), somewhat fused with anteroproximal edge of M. peroneus longus; pars media : small and short; on medial surface of proximal part of shank; deep to tendon of insertion of M. flexor cruris medialis; bounded anteromedially by pars interna, posterolaterally by medial head of M. flexor perforatus digiti III, and proximally by M. femorocruralis; fused to latter, and boundary between the two difficult to locate.
