I Heart Grooks

Short Poems by Piet Hein, thanks to the Sam for injecting tidbits of poetry my way. :) Just some of my favorite ones, you can read more here: http://chat.carleton.ca/~tcstewar/grooks/grooks.html

SIMPLY ASSISTING GOD

I am a humble artist
moulding my earthly clod,
adding my labour to nature's,
simply assisting God.

Not that my effort is needed;
yet somehow, I understand,
my maker has willed it that I too should have
unmoulded clay in my hand.

AN ETHICAL GROOK

I see
and I hear
and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

THE ROAD TO WISDOM

The road to wisdom? -- Well, it's plain
and simple to express:
Err
and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.

I could post a lot more but this feels like a good place to stop. In other news, Jean has finals and internship prep so will be AWOL for the next four weeks. *goes batshit*
