Aldous Huxley's Theoretic Life: Exploring Ideas on Existence and Humanity 📘

While I have been fumbling over books <br /> And thinking about God and the Devil and all, <br /> Other young men have been battling with the days <br /> And others have been kissing the beautiful women. <br /> They have brazen faces like battering-rams. <br /> But I who think about books and such- <br /> I crumble to impotent dust before the struggling, <br /> And the women palsy me with fear. <br /> But when it comes to fumbling over books <br /> And thinking about God and the Devil and all, <br /> Why, there I am. <br /> But perhaps the battering-rams are in the right of it, <br /> Perhaps, perhaps ... God knows.<br /><br />Aldous Huxley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-life-theoretic/
