It was like the baby being slapped to make his lungs start working.??[A mobile] has no utility and no meaning. It is simply beautiful. It has a great emotional effect if you understand it. Of course if it meant anything it would be easier to understand, but it would not be worthwhile.??A title is just like the license plate on the back of a car.
