Upon Reading C. S. Lewis’ The Abolition of Man

 

For Grace

 

“…the doctrine of objective value…”

-p. 29

 

At least I think I read it, did I not?

The book exists and was read, but by whom?

I’m beginning to feel that I’m the trousered ape

Who feels that a slide rule is for scratching one's back

 

But reality obtains – if a tree falls

That tree forever falling in the forest

In 7th grade science, and no one hears it

It sends a sound into the universe

 

I think I understand about truth and space

But if I’m confused, I’ll simply ask Grace!
