Knowledge and wisdom are two different things you know David. Socrates of Greece once said that if he was wise it was because he knew that he knew nothing. On a similar tack, David Allen of Gong stated that 'the more you know the more you know you don't know what you know'.
PS the poem was written by Alexander Kieller, who excavated Windmill Hill and Avebury. All attempts to identify the culprit have only resulted in something about 'thoracic nervous system of prawns'.
'In the busy market there are fortunes to be won and lost, but in the cherry orchard there is peace'.
