Waiting to Disappear
|
|
|
|
by Ward Kelley

|
Rarely does the mind ever
triumph over the heart,
for hearts only feign logic,
until the mind drops its
guard, usually when the intellect
is sure the argument is won
and certain the heart will do the
correct thing. Hearts, although,
are devious while agreeable,
and when the object of their
desire appears to be within their
grasp, the fingers of the heart
close every time, regardless
of the consequence . . . life itself
reveres the newly bloomed flower
and ignores the withered petals
who lie on the ground waiting
to disappear.
Artist's note:
Will and Ariel Durant (1885-1981 and 1898-1981) wrote in "The History of
Civilization," that "In a conflict between superstition and philosophy one
may safely wager on the victory of superstition, for the world wisely prefers
happiness to wisdom |
