"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
-William Blake, Auguries of Innocence

- Friend: The only movie I've seen lately was The Hobbit.
- Me: Oh, really? What did you think of it?
- Friend: Yeah, I really liked it. It was visually stunning...but some of the characters upset me.
- Me: Which characters?
- Friend: The dwarf king.
- Me: What about him?
- Friend: Well, look. If you're going to be a dwarf king, you need to be the dwarviest of dwarves.
- Me: ...
- Friend: Like, the other dwarves? They're pretty dwarfy. But the dwarf king's all gorgeous and not dwarfy enough.
- Other friend: Yeah, but that's what makes him the dwarf king. His gorgeousness makes him stand out from the other dwarfs.
- Friend: I'm not convinced. All I ask from the entire film is that the dwarf king is the king of dwarfy qualities. The ultimate commander of dwarfiness.
