Dearest Olan I am so far behind on comments but I wanted to say I love the intent in this piece and my favorite line is the same as Julie 's
A classic union (in the Platonic sense) of form and theme. Lovely line--"into his cup - philosophy unveiled".
I'm so glad you explained this Olan as I want to be a sponge and learn , beauty within this write and words of wisdom for all mankind
The fine, fine, craftmanship in present in this piece is not lost within its theme...beautiful and impressive work! ;~))
