A Scribble

Scribbled down today after a walk:

Philosophy

They asked me what philosophy is and I said
it takes all the thoughts that run in your head
and all of the things in the world we find
and all of the thoughts of other minds
and puts them together to make them flow:
it is the mysticism of the Great Coherence.

It has been so since its glimmering dawn
when a man looked up and saw To On;
around and around like the dragon curled
by the triple root of the Tree of the World
until it reaches the heights of the Heavenly Rose:
it is the mysticism of the Great Coherence.
