Science…
a handmaiden of knowledge
The upstairs maid
in a mansion of discovery
Chauffeuring itself
along roads it has built
A quantitative valet
—in the closet of the unknown
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Cogito Ergo Erras
Science hears what,
Philosophy why
The deafest of twins
—singing in the same choir
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Blind Contempt
The quandary of physics…
a tool to divide
A slave to its master,
alone to misguide
Capable of function,
but never intent
An eye without vision
—and blind with contempt
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Heaven's Atelier
All of your efforts…
an homage to false reasoning
Excuses misleading,
art’s truth to disown
Heaven’s Atelier
beyond comprehension
Its masterpiece living
—beyond canvas or stone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Exigent Power
Epiphany’s truth
needs no defenders
Its window stays open
the light shining through
The nature of being
its servant not master
With exigent power
—beyond legend or proof
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Stolen Dreams
All sleep is barren,
the night becomes long
The Muse an insomniac
—restless until dawn
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Kurt,
• “A Quantitative Valet”
Metaphorically Amazing!
Today I feel like...
‘The upstairs maid
in a mansion of discovery’...
(I’m visiting the attic!😉)
Looking forward to your additional postings for the day!
~Laura~🌻
...some good stuff in attics.
Ask Emily.
Ah yes...Emily!
One of my favorites...
“If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.”
A favorite of mine too. I had a professor in graduate school
that repeated over and over .... "Melville, Whitman, and Dickinson,
that's all you Philosophy Majors need to know."
