[Stones] So, is this what some think of our heritage?

[The Wissers]

No doubt, as with all art, we're all meant to perceive it in our own 
ways. I received it as light-hearted and if I gained any statement at 
all from it, it is that what we honour at Stonehenge isn't in the 
stones, exactly.

The more desperate the times, the more welcome to me is the refuge of 
laughter.
