"...to see ourselves as others see us."

On a morning after a surprisingly difficult day before in Dunedin, it seems appropriate to look to a Scottish poet for solace; as from 'To A Louse':

O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!

I hadn't realised Nicky Watson travelled so well...
