In any event, thanks for bringing this up!

Hmm! Is that why there are set images for the seasons and other things in the old masters writings? But what if we don't know the allusion,
you say bowl
I see grail
You say hub of the universe—meaning empty space
And I see the black hole— and laugh at the way my mind went
That’s why I like this thread. it is taking us all on mind trips, and is how sites like this should work. Poets sparking off each other.,. --loveit ~~ Henie
