One of the most profound spiritual verses in English literature

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

 

 

For brevity and pertinence (is there such a word?) the best writing, in English, on the

dilemma of spiritual seeking is this piece by Edward Lear.

 

The other day, upon the stair,

I met a man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today;

Oh how I wish he'd go away!

 

Cheers

Hi Warwick:

 

Here is one I read above a urinal in bar restroom of the French

Quarter in New Orleans.

 

"What is reality?

Why doesn't it leave me alone?"

 

Pertinent?
