"It appears to me that almost any man may like the spider spin
from his own inwards his own airy citadel."

I found this as-written quote in a Neil Gaiman novel called "Anansi Boys" (page 19):
ReplyDelete"Stories are like spiders, with all they long legs, and stories are like spiderwebs, which man gets himself all tangled up in but which looks so pretty when you see them under a leaf in the morning dew, and in the elegant way that they connect to one another, each to each."
Spider webs remind us of how easy it is to get caught in a web if we go about our business unaware of the dangers that lurk around every corner....maybe the moral is: be the spider, not the fly!
