Philosophical idealism expressed in a famous limerick by the theologian Ronald Knox:
There once was a man who said ‘God
Must think it exceedingly odd
If he finds that this tree
Continues to be
When there’s no one about in the Quad.’
…to which came the anonymously penned reply:
Dear Sir, Your astonishment’s odd:
‘I am always about in the Quad.
And that’s why the tree
Will continue to be,
Since observed by Yours faithfully, God.’
