Box of rocks,

You're absolutely right sadlife, that is quite the poetic stance, I like it. You see, gimwinkle, literature and philosophy are not so different:

'To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour'

Or, as we would rather put it:

'To see a world in a box of rocks
And a Heaven in a little girl...'

Actually, William Blake was very obsessed with the philosophical importance of the child.

Food for thought...
