Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Whisperings of the Sphinx Whispering of the Sphinx I Change "What is it walks at morn on four feet, two At noon, and three at night?" In desert sand Sat the wise Sphinx, and in that Theban land Asked her enigma; and we ask anew, What is this creature? OEdipus, ´tis true, Answered: "The thing is man." We understand He guessed the name, but not the meaning grand, Within the deep enigma, hid from view. The Theban Sphinx was pondering: "What is man?" As we must ponder in this later age: Is he but highest type of earthly things, Or the angelic heir of Natures plan? And his Earth-travel, a short pilgrimage That, toward a Heavenly life, his journey brings? What does it mean, this dizzy whirl of things That we call life? If Science speak, alas, Her voice is drowned in louder sounds that pass Her colder tones, the violent outcryings Of turbulent emotions! Nature sings In chords and discords whose confusing mass Deafens our ears; and yet the flowers, trees, grass, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
