How like a door the knowledge we attain, Which door is on the bourne of the Inane;
 * It opens and our nothingness is closed,—

It closes and in darkness we remain.

Hither we come unknowing, hence we go; Unknowing we are messaged to and fro;
 * And yet we think we know all things of earth

And sky—the suns and stars we think we know.
