Susan,

I think you're on to something! As erudite as the heraldry idea seems, it doesn't quite snap shut for me. Is La Ceppede saying that the sins (peches) are twigs IN the abyss (of Hell)? Of course, the twigs would be burning and that idea--that they are burning--fits an RC view of the afterlife. (Actually it fits mine, too). That solution has the grammatical high ground, as well. The brindelles in the parenthesis clearly are meant to refer to the peches.

I have no qualms about you joining in--if you'll permit me to try this idea.

Poeta aliorum auxilium poetarum semper accipiat!
