Thankyou Will ... a far nicer and more clever retort than the inevitable
sarcastic put down I would have posted (: And a very beautiful poem, too.

> A noiseless patient spider,
> I marked where on a little promitory it stood isolated,
> Marked how to explore the vacant vast surrounding
> It launched forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
> Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

> And you O my soul where you stand,  
> Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, 
> Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres 		
> 	to connect them,
> Till the bridge you will need be formed, till the ductile anchor hold,
> Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.
