I know Jon, it really is creepy!  I have mixed feelings about posting it and it comes with my apologies to the robust, authentic and powerful human being, George Fox!  Most certainly he didn't walk about in his leathern pants whispering about the little birdies, any more than Jesus walked daintily along whispering into his pet lamb's ear.  I am curious about what it would have been like to be in the presence of George Fox!    I guess I am just sharing it so we will that this is someone's perception of Quakers.    The whole series of animated poets fascinates me, and I have been told by the cultured that it is a tacky enterprise!  My favorite is Emily Dickinson about being haunted.

Okay, this is creepy and somewhat offensive. Apparently, someone thought the sentiments of the Victorian Poet could best be expressed by a kind of wimpy George Fox. Nevertheless, sharing for fun I guess and sort of the underscoring of how Quakers are perceived. Time to tiptoe through the tulips with theeeeee!
