Replying to a comment on:

Before my birth myself flourished and will again past my pseudo death Beauty and Good demand it so for they are bastions strong as reason Easy to honor the dove hard to extol the rat Easy to admire DNA and hate uranium 238 Beautiful and Good Ugly and Bad I believe I know the difference For I live not alone by reason but by knowledge of Beauty and Good Thus I surpass the waypointsâ birth and death with God who creates Beauty and Good demand it

Robert Graves - In Broken Images

He is quick, thinking in clear images;
I am slow, thinking in broken images.

He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;
I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images.

Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;
Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.

Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact;
Questioning their relevance, I question their fact.

When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;
when the fact fails me, I approve my senses.

He continues quick and dull in his clear images;
I continue slow and sharp in my broken images.

He in a new confusion of his understanding;
I in a new understanding of my confusion.

That's a good poem 10
