I saw this pillow from a BBC article. O what great placebo for obscure desire! What great symbol of solitude! What great blend of animalism and daintiness!

A psychologist found that baby monkeys prefer an artifical mother made of cloth than one made of wires. So, to all lonely boys, and to all exhausted human resources, this lap pillow should provide enough warmth and happiness. Magna civitas, magna solitudo — and we are but monkeys in it.
