Psalm 43:4

"One plant had wreathed itself round a statue"~~~Hawthorne

"The smoke from the fire at times...wreathed into the room"~~~Stephen Crane

"If you wrest my words beyond their fair construction, it is you and not I, that are the April Fool."~~~Lamb 

The Wrestler, an Olmec era statuette, 1200 - 800 BCE. Art historian George Kubler finds that "the spiraling motion of the body, the multiplicity of profile, the coherent muscles, and the expressive estraint of the work set it apart as among the great works of sculpture of all ages".^[1] Michael Coe finds it "one of the supreme examples of Olmec art".^[2]

THE WRESTLER (THE HARP PLAYER)
Is this masterpiece OImec statue, a key? Is it a brilliant encoding of "King David" in the Mesoamerican Matrix as a "WRESTLER", not a harp player? Derived from the praxis and comprehension of Psalm 43:4?
