One explorer wanted only a glimpse of a snow leopard in the Himalayasand settled for seeing the blue sheep.Others seek a Grand Unified Theoryor the perfect jewel of language.Only the search matters. Even an imaginary pony or apocryphal  chalice can give you the world. by Dennis RossThe Red White and Blue Pony
