The Only Way You Can Know Anything...

Well...I really don't have much for today. These things happen. But in an attempt to say anything...I'll share a quote from a book I was reading today. It's from a poetry anthology, "Sleeping On The Wing," describing a specific poem by William Butler Yeats:

"The sense of it is that you can't really know a thing for sure as long as you and it are changing; and, if you exist in time, you are always changing - and so is everything living that's around you, and everything you feel. So, the only way you could know anything for sure might be if time stopped. Time's stopping is just about impossible to imagine, but it is something that is supposed to happen at the Last Judgement."


...think about that one for a bit.
