Creatures Without Eyes

At the bottom of ev'rything

There is a place without lights--

Without eyes.

But the creatures there see just fine

Without lights and without eyes--

They see fine.

I can never go there to see

Things without lights and their eyes--

I can't see.

Here, there are lights and there are eyes

We see things with light and our eyes--

We see them.

If we did not have lights and not eyes

We would see the world without lights and eyes--

We would see.

-Anon.

"We shall see but a little way if we require to understand what we see."

-Henry David Thoreau
