Philosopher's Garden
"See this my garden, Large and fair!" --Thus, to his friend, The Philosopher. "'Tis not too long," His friend replied, With truth exact,-- "Nor yet too wide. But well compact, If somewhat cramped On every side." Quick the reply-- "But see how high!-- It reaches up To God's blue sky!" Not by their size Measure we men Or things. Wisdom, with eyes Washed in the fire, Seeketh the things That are higher-- Things that have wings, Thoughts that aspire.
