And Now A Word From Our Sponsor

Below is an email I recieved from Xulub for anyone willing to answer it-


This could be one for our blog community (or just filth) but I didn't know where to post it:

Ralph Waldo Emerson;

'Space is felt as a great thing. There is some pinch and narrowness in us, and we laugh and leap to see forest, and sea, which yet are but lanes and crevices to the great Space in which the world swims like a cockboat in the sea.'

Cockboat? COCKBOAT?!

Ok, library monkeys, explain that one!


The only explanation I can think of is that this shows Emerson's little known affliction with tourrettes, hence his other famous quote:
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tinycock matters compared to what lies within us."

Maybe.
