Re: Dion Laurent:

Wonder is what drives it; wonder is what drives most of us. I'm reading 
Mayan history: wonder. I wonder at the way Johnson's English dictionary is 
transformed in other dictionaries of the early 19th century. I'm wondering 
why one of the insect (cricket? cicada? grasshopper?) species we hear in 
Denver has continuous chirping - without breaks as other species have. I'm 
recording this and wonder if the recording will make any sense; the insect 
is invisible, hidden in foliage.

James Elroy write about 'the wonder' and its the wonder that drives him. 
You can sense that in a lot of archaeologists, naturalists, physicists, 
artists, writers. Theorists seem to come from the other end at times; 
wonder gets lost in the detail or dissection.

But we all know that -
