How would it be,†said Pooh slowly, “if, as soon as we’re out of sight of this Pit, we try to find it again?â€
“What’s the good of that?†said Rabbit.
“Well,†said Pooh, “we keep looking for Home and not finding it, so I thought that if we looked for this Pit, we’d be sure not to find it, which would be a Good Thing, because then we might find something that we weren’t looking for, which might be just what we were looking for, really.â€
“I don’t see much sense in that,†said Rabbit.
“No,†said Pooh humbly, “there isn’t. But there was going to be when I began it. It’s just that something happened to it on the way.
— Milne, A. A.
