Something to think about.
*
NEW EUROPEANS
The desire for Truth.
That ‘temptress to risk’.
The veracity which all ‘lovers of wisdom’ revere.
*
What questions this desire calls forth!
What weird and wicked queries!
*
Such an enterprise already has history
but feels like it began yesterday.
*
Before we lost patience
and turned our back to the Chimera of Enquiry
we stumbled upon an ‘angle’…
*
Who really stands before us and asks?
Who wants to know?
*
Over this hurdle we toiled, to climb,
and at its summit we saw before us yet another more basic obstacle…
*
What value has such desire?
Would not a lie suffice just as well?
*
We held up a mirror to the face of our Chimera
and suddenly we knew neither querent nor savant.
*
It is this stand-offish Truth,
which plays, now, like a frown,
over the brows of our New Europe.
