I Heart Grooks
Mar. 17th, 2006 01:32 pmShort 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.
( More behind the cut... )
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*
