The Old Philosopher's Canon of Reason and Virtue: 4. Sourceless

1. Reason is empty, but its use is inexhaustible. In its profundity, verily, it p. 76 resembleth the arch-father of the ten thousand things. 2. "It will blunt its own sharpness, Will its tangles adjust; It will dim its own radiance And be one with its dust." 3. Oh, how calm it seems to remain! I know not whose son it is. Apparently even the Lord it precedes.
