Hello,
I would like to ask somebody if the word lapped in the text below means surrounded.
"I went to the balcony. She lay still, as the living do not lie, and her white hair was blackening, lapped by a congealing stream." (the head was surrounded by a stream of congealing blood)
Aleister Crowley, The Dream Circean, 1908
Thank you very much.
