    Griff: If I let you set up shop in this neighborhood, the people would chop me like a ripe banana.

    While on the shop and street I gazed
    My body of a sudden blazed;
    And twenty minutes more or less
    It seemed, so great my happiness,
    That I was blessèd and could bless.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Give me the eye to see a navy in an acorn. What is there of the divine in a load of bricks? What of the divine in a barber’s shop or a privy? Much, all.
