[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 133619, member: 267"]Very cool, cx - I really wonder why a fable about disparaging what you can't have would be used on a trinket box or? très ironique! It could be a cigarette holder, or something for a man's study... some versions of that tale read more as a man turning himself away from young (unripe) girls.
