The horizon appears far
above my head,
The sun gleams without
end behind cloudy curtains
Like some eternal flame
blown by an eternal being.
Beyond my sight lie
comets, stars and distant galaxies.
Is it reasonable to seek
things beyond one’s comprehension?
To ponder upon the
unknown, the unseen?
To say, all things can
be seen through the mind?
I have seen a ladder
spreading from continent to continent,
I have seen all there is
to be seen on earth, and I was not amazed.
Should I build a ladder
spreading from earth to heaven?
Should I climb it to see
the farthest corners of the universe?
Is it possible to
understand the universe, to spread it across a table?
Perhaps, there is no
such things as supreme understanding; not in this world.
