Ummm...I hate to rain on the parade in any way, but I think there's more than one questionable picture in Silverstein's opus. I hesitate to elaborate further than this: look through his two books, "Light in the Attic" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (I forget which one), for pictures of an anchor. Then LOOK at the anchor. Then flip through more of his work and LOOK at the pictures.
It spooked me a little. Still, that didn't kill my appreciation of his talent with words, and his death hit me with about the same impact as Dr. Seuss' did (although neither was as powerful as Jim Henson.)

Welcome (?) (From LITA or WTSE)
If you're a dreamer, come in.
If you're a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hoper, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer,

Come in!
Come in.
