Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Science was false by being unpoetical. It assumed to explain a reptile or a mollusk, and isolated it-which is hunting for life in graveyards. Reptile or mollusk or man or angel only exists in system, in relation.
