I am assured that every man is God

Because the simplest-minded, dullest youth

Witless and ignorant, a stock, a clod,

Has perfect understanding of Pure Truth.

 

Innate, exact, identical with mine,

Though all in vain Philosophy has sweated

That simplest concept even to define

Humanity is certainly indebted.

 

To intellect for divers useful arts;

But when it comes to any serious odds,

Our brains play second fiddle to our hearts--

Damned lucky that we happen to be Gods!

Could very well have been.

 

I regret that I didn't move faster to buy the book they were plugging

at the time and have now forgotten who it was by, but looking at a

webpage on Paul Deveraux it looks very similar.

 

Cheers for that, I'll have to look it up.

 

I love the fact that we Archaeologists look for advanced sociological

motives in prehistoric behaviour so you get all these theories about

death rituals or magic rituals and then a much more grounded voice at

the back piping up:

" they're our ancestors after all...they were just trying to get out

of their trees " .

 

I wonder if that has anything to do with the saying someone is " out

of their tree " ...hm.
