Whats in a name

The fox knows many things - the hedgehog one BIG one - Archilocus

I am a fox. But I feel more like a hedgehog, would like to live my life curled in a ball, fed milk by kindly strangers, but with prickles to ward off intruders

And how enchanting to imagine being a hedgehog in Ancient Greece

Someone has just pointed out to me that Berlin thought Tolstoy was a fox who believed in being a hedgehog
