Haydock's commentary
Path of these metals, (Menochius) or a path in general. (Haydock)
They fly, as beasts roam about, without keeping the high road; yet never miss their way, or fail to return to their own place, though they may have crossed the sea or woods, and been absent many months. This instinct is one of the wonders of nature. (Calmet)
