Montaigne
Knowing for sure is uncertain…
Retreat to your ancestral seat.
Unable to act, turn inward.
Look to the territory at hand,
the topography of personality.
Examine multitudes of contradictions
through your only human open eyes
peering hard at the darkness within.
No guarantee you will learn anything
except the truth of kidney stones,
the various shades of mayonnaise,
the private menus of cannibals.
A mind must own a place to begin.
Be a sage in the tower of your soul.
Look hard at pieces.
Discover the whole.
