‘Men go to gape at mountain peaks, at the boundless tides of the sea, the broad sweep of rivers, the encircling ocean and the motions of the stars: and yet they leave themselves unnoticed; they do not marvel at themselves.” Augustine's Confessions. X, viii. 15
Augustine was a bit of genius who had a bit of impact on all of Western civilization. With little ditties like this, you can see why.
