I think it's like another word for furled. Furled is to roll up and secure to something. It's in a poem called FOUR SEASONS FILL THE MEASURE OF THE YEAR, also called THE HUMAN SEASONS, by John Keats.

Different translations of the bible could endorse love and charity are synonmus. Examples observed in.1st Corrinthians ch. thirteen vs. a million-17 illustrate this repeatedly. I could experience listening to from a student of the languages utilized in the ones beyond occasions to explain my expertise. The tale of the "World's Poorest Philanthropist", Gilbert "Harold" Ewing II (myself) is the rationale for this querry. The " act of grace", or charity, reffered to within the information interview, has posited this question and I lack the type of schooling to furnish any insights of actual significance.

furleth: a poetic way to say "furls" as in the opposite of "unfurls" (as wings or flags), to open them up so they can be used.

It's used by Keats in this poem:

The human seasons

FOUR Seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of man:
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear
Takes in all beauty with an easy span:
He has his Summer, when luxuriously
Spring’s honey’d cud of youthful thought he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves
His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness—to let fair things
Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook.
He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

Hope this helps!

Are you reading Keats? I think it means he kept his wings close.
