word to the wise?

 

snorting knowledge

the ancients spoke of one true immortal. not in understanding, but in hopes to understand.

the poets stood by, and wrote not in hopes to understand, but in understanding. pieces de love, honor, power, man, and the laws.

the ancients criticized such hopeful, for they understood not what they wrote, but wrote what they did not understand. as for the philosophers, they in similar fashions, spoke not what the knew, but what they craved to know.

speaking of truths that i don't understand and being respected, that of the poetry.
speaking of truths i know i don't understand and being ridiculed, that of philosophy. 

wisdom, or word to the wise?
