Message for Wednesday 2 October 2024
}Squared or Cubed{
With a bow but no arrow, he has no means to
Effect his purpose. Opportunities pass him by
Without advantage. He does not recall having had
A father. He is a centaur, half man, half horse,
/
Subtle and changeful, simulating virtues and vices
For the sake of diplomacy. His hooves are instincts,
His hands aspirations. At length he acquires a cottage
Surrounded by a thicket. He has become prudent
/
And resourceful, yet worried and ruseful. Is
Everyone deceptive? In evenings he sits at a table
With a square on one side and a manuscript scroll on
The other. Life is a never-ending adjustment of
/
Practical realities to ideal potentials. Squares of
Logic engender cubes of profundity.
