Friedrich Nietzsche

I see
nothing
but a glimpse
of everything

A flash of
insight gives
nothing but
confusion

The wisest
can give a single
strand of knowledge
to a lucky few

Although, are they so
lucky
as you may
think

Their minds search to and fro for
an answer
to this insight
they are compulsive now

They may desire
no life without
insight
so be it

You wished all your life for
instant insight
it is a curse above
all things

You must become the
wise man who gives the
insight
you must learn

Learn the ways of
others to then in turn
learn the ways of
yourself

Build your knowledge
slowly
gradually
become the wise man

Once you do this
take haste to give insight
to the young foolish
men

This insight should not be of
everything
but it should warn them of
instant insight

Warn them
just as I have done
for
you
Alex Barnett

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
