The Ancient Modern
Inherence/Repercussion / Joshua Alan Sturgill
Utility drives out meaning
Beauty flies from control
A face cannot be dissected
The parts belie the whole
A microscope misses heaven
A telescope overlooks life
A fool goes hunting for truth
With a textbook and a knife
Invention cannot teach us
If we are unwilling to learn
First from silence, then from light
Astonishing, each in its turn
A landscape is a harmony
One, a many must hold
If Nature appears in pieces
The fracture began in the soul
Comfort and automation
Find us asleep and astray
First the silence, then the light
Dissolved in a clamorous haze
