“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. | |

So Suddenly
November 1, 2013 by kmabarrett
I enjoyed this post and read it twice to let it sink in a little deeper.
Hi Russ,
Don’t feel bad. I re-read it several times myself. I think there’s a joke about blindness and re-reading in there somewhere, but it hasn’t hit me at the moment.
Cheers!
