When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
Hear us, you who are no more than leaves always falling, you mortals benighted by nature,You enfeebled and powerless creatures of earth always haunting a world of mere shadows,Entities without wings, insubstantial as dreams, you ephemeral things, you human beings:Turn your minds to our words, our etherial words, for the words of the birds last forever!
From The Birds by Aristophanes, 414 BC
I believe in Cartesian common sense. I think people have the capacities to see through the deceit in which they are ensnared, but they’ve got to make the effort.
