No; that's why I could kindly offer it freely. Not beneath or above.
If you dig, you may just find my dignity. Or, you may just find yourself Down
Under. Can you dig? ;-)
The words are also a rejoinder in a wonderful Zen story (koan).
I referred to it once here earlier.
You can find on the group website the first instance of those words when you
search: the story and poem it concerns is there.
Your praise was a familiar echo of it.
(Oh, for a volatile memory like yours). ;-)

PS I remembered an elephant; and he remembered me.
