An attempt with what is not steady
To produce what is even and steady
Will only bring an unsteady result;
An attempt with what is uncertain
To make the uncertain certain
Will leave the uncertainty unsolved.
He who uses only the sight of his eyes
Is acted on by what he sees.
It is insight and intuition of the spirit
That gives assurance of the certainty.
That the sight of the eyes is not equal
To insight and intuition of the spirit
Is a thing long acknowledged, and yet
We use to rely on what we see, and
Have it to be the sentiment of us.
Alas, but all our scientific progress
Associates with what is external, not internal.
Always,
Deborah
