“The Book of Wisdom” | |
I met a seer. | |
He held in his hands | |
The book of wisdom. | |
“Sir,” I addressed him, | |
“Let me read.” | |
“Child–” he began. | |
“Sir,” I said, | |
“Think not that I am a child, | |
For already I know much | |
Of that which you hold. | |
Aye, much.” | |
He smiled. | |
Then he opened the book | |
And held it before me.– | |
Strange that I should have grown so suddenly blind. | |
— Written by: Stephen Crane (1871-1900) | |
