| All our
knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, |
||||||
| All our
ignorance brings us nearer to death, |
||||||
| But nearness
to death, no nearer to God. |
||||||
| Where is the Life we
have lost in living? |
||||||
| Where is the
wisdom we have lost in knowledge? |
||||||
| Where is the
knowledge we have lost in information? |
||||||
| The cycles of
Heaven in twenty centuries |
||||||
| Bring us
farther from God and nearer to the Dust. |
