You're right, of course, Benefan. And yes, I've seen the pic with him on his knees at the nativity scene.... On the other hand, apart from my "maternal" feeling for him, he also symbolises the father-figure and the Jungian "wise man" in my life. And what about the "artist"-figure - the artist of the word, "Goldmund"? And the "brainbox", the "cognitive giant"?And the "knight" serving at all costs the pure Ideal. And the eternal "contemplative" ? A Man for all Seasons.
