facilitate. To quicken, in the sense here considered, is to increase speed, move or cause to move more rapidly, as through more space or with, a greater number of motions in the same time. To accelerate is to increase the speed of action or of motion. A motion whose speed increases upon itself is said to be accelerated, as the motion of a falling body, which becomes swifter with every second of time.
Fiddlehead sculpture at the Saint John Arts Centre by sculptor Jim Boyd in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.Fiddleheads or fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable.Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond (circinate vernation).See bracken poisoning). The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
Few vegetables are as beautiful as fiddleheads, the shoots of various species of fern. The type of fiddlehead we most commonly see here on the East Coast are bright green, with tightly coiled heads delicately curled like the scroll of a violin, sometimes with bits of the forest floor still clinging to them.he type of fiddlehead we most commonly see here on the East Coast are bright green, with tightly coiled heads delicately curled like the scroll of a violin, sometimes with bits of the forest floor still clinging to them.
