A still from the film How the Lord of Men and Beasts Strove
Coming to YouTube soon

Glooskap has overcome giants, sorcerers and spirits, and wonders if any rival is left. A woman points to the one no one has ever conquered: the Baby, sitting happily on the floor with his maple sugar. Smiles, commands and the strongest magic all fail, and that is why a contented baby still crows to itself.
