@OmSigDAVID,
Tsar's right, it was just a philosophic poetic moment.
It does have a basis in personal experience though.
I'll diverge from topic to relate the story.
When my daughter was 1 year old, I took her to Toys r Us to purchase a Cozy Coupe.
I wasn't, at that age, particularly concerned with her unwrapping this particular gift. I explained that we were going buy her a present for her birthday, that I had something in mind and she could decide if it was something she would like.
When we got to the store, we went to the aisle where they displayed the Cozy Coupe. We looked the display model over and she decided, yes, that was something she would like.
The interesting part began when we took the ticket to the register and payed.
They, of course, brought us a box with a picture of a Cozy Coupe on the side. We took the box home and placed it in the front yard to open.
It's hard to explain the way she looked at the box with the picture on it, but the sound she made, when I pulled the real coupe out of the box, was priceless.
It had not occurred to me that she had no experience with boxes, and did not know it was anything but a box with a picture on the side.
