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.
|
