a: How people see god ~
b: How Oysters see the sun through water
What: From Moby Dick;

Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air."
