Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Stephen Crane·1871–1900·literary realism
man saw a ball of gold in the sky;He climbed for it,And eventually he achieved it--It was clay. Now this is the strange part:When the man went to the earthAnd looked again,Lo, there was the ball of gold.Now this is the strange part:It was a ball of gold.Aye, by the Heavens, it was a ball of gold.
