By Richard Mather
What fact makes a principle true?
Quid Facti. That is the question.
Searching for material truth
& reaching for the analytic,
we must ask, we must probe.
Although dim & confused,
our minds contain all potencies.
Seek not the dark side of an idea
but strive for total understanding
beyond space and time: these are
the imagination’s limits. Think.
Hope for luminous deification
& all things revealed to us
in a glance, instant & panoramic.
Matter dissolves & perceptions
resolve into ideas with no object
to speak of. Now see the infinite
emerging clear & distinct. Isn’t it
a form of thought almost god-like?
