What was the vessel which carried Pooh to Christopher Robin? "The floating Bear", one of the empty honey pots; that is, the alchemical vessel, physically empty,having served its turn, but spiritually full, full of the air which is the breath of inspiration - which leterally means breathing in - the divine afflatus, the "prana" of Hindu mysticism. What more compelling evidence can there be that pooh was as triumphant in spiritual as in physical alchemy? - The Wisdom of Pooh!
