Great Literature
Great Literature – here are quotations concerning pigs and literature. In the warm lands where pigs are still a totem, the people tell a story about a foreign pilgrim who came among them seeking the divine attributes of existence. Again and again, the pilgrim was told that the world rested on a platform that rested on the outspread wings of a crow, which rested in turn on the back of a pig. The pilgrim then asked, “What did the pig rest on?” He was told another pig. “And that pig?” he asked, again and again. “Ah, quenchless one,” he was finally told, “after that it is pigs all the way down.”
