[BNP/E3, 78A – 18]
Delirium.
The World Offended.
___
I said unto the world one day:
“I suspect thee of existence!”
And the world showed a smiled resistance
To what I did say.
“Let us go to court,” he replied; “go we
Before a Court both wise and rare.
Let Reason one judge of our cause be;
Imagination be also there
And Feeling the judges our cause to hear.”
We went before the Court, and Reason
Said to me: “Thy crime is half‑treason!
The World's acquitted of what thou say'st:
Of existence ’tis guilty not.
This by the written code of Thought
In the pages of Unrest.”
Alexander Search.
