"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite." William Blake, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell"

Listen to poem:
Count your fingers and toes! It's five that drives betides! For our minds can't juggle More than five at once. Can't grip, grasp sense - six. How we sense and perceive, Also comes in five flavors. Touch, sight, smell, taste, hearing, Which constrains, contorts our thoughts, Into believing we know what's Right, true, all so insightful! But, why or why five? Has ego, fear, doubt, desire Succumbed to fingers and toes? So we can't go further Than a high fivefold dive?
