Experience

                       Experience        Experience is simply this; A preparation for some future state,  However broad or narrow be its scope.        We pass from grade to grade, as when in school — Learning a little more each period We spend on varied subjects in […]

Visionary Dawn

                     Visionary Dawn   Know that those Principles you mourn, (dark-robed,      Facing that Blankness where they were interred —           Battered and mangled by traumatic wars      And social dissolution — those long years Ago), cannot be recovered from […]

Reality and Dreams

                   Reality and Dreams   In normal lives realities and dreams are mixed And, through their interactions, memories are fixed.             Most happiness is transient and brief;           Troubles both follow and precede relief         […]

Misunderstandings

                      Misunderstandings        Larch trees, (I did not know this fact before!), Change colour in the Autumn since they are Deciduous conifers. It’s very strange How something I had thought for years — that all Pines are true evergreens — should be disproved By […]

By Any Other Name

                  By Any Other Name        Gods do not die!. They cannot die In any sense we understand; They simply fade from consciousness And so it seems as if they die!.        But gods own powers to transmute Their attributes to other forms, […]

Zamenhof's Esperanto (1887)

                            Zamenhof’s Esperanto (1887) “Esperanto estas plej bona lingvo por kompreneco internacia“ (“Esperanto is the best language for international understanding”).                                             […]

Life's Mirror

                             Life’s Mirror        Our future is only our past Reflected, as though in a glass But made mysterious by Time’s Refractions through vague surface-dross That mars its lustre and distorts The details of its imaged shapes.      When […]

Happiness

                           Happiness   If happiness were perfect on this Earth,           How dreadful It would be!. For surely we would find,           As we approached      The closure f our lives, That death would be […]

Quantum Theory

                            Quantum Theory      (After reading Other Worlds by Paul Davies)        My mind seems cosmologically large Because all things I see — or touch, or hear, Or merely sense — become absorbed by me.      The world, its […]

Roots

                       Roots             What though life’s troubles storm about my head;      Though highest hopes are dashed down, time on time; That rare-wrought compositions are derided      And richest of confections judged as chyme?.         […]
