Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Awakenings With in Athens I was sorely tempted to call the following poem Old Joe. I was deterred by the thought that it should have a, possibly, more dignified title. So I have christened it Awakenings. To the human Subject there are three essential awakenings. These are - that to environment - that to Self - that to the Fourth Dimension. That the lower-animal shares the first of these with the human is questioned by none. As to the second, in this regard, there are those who doubt. The third? Is there a Fourth Dimension of matter? Of this dimension I made much in a former poem - Hope Undeferred. Comments on this are still coming - to my great satisfaction. Most of them are favorable. Some are non-committal. Two have been unfavorable. A clergyman writes: "A Fourth Dimension is one too many for me to understand!" A layman: "Doctor Adams: How dare you write such rot?" Another clergyman is very complimentary, including the sentiment that it must have taken "infinite bravery" on my part to write a poem on the Fourth Dimension. An Ecclesiastical Dignitary, in a conversation, was disposed to consider length, breadth and thickness enough dimensions, until I quoted St. Paul: "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (Whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up into the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
