Spring is umbilical or else it is not spring. - Wallace Stevens

Rationalists, wearing square hats,
Think, in square rooms,
Looking at the floor,
Looking at the ceiling.
They confine themselves
To right-angled triangles.
If they tried rhomboids,
Cones, waving lines, ellipses — As, for example, the ellipse of the half-moon — Rationalists would wear sombreros.

Place honey on the altars and die, You lovers that are bitter at heart.

The truth seems to be that we live in concepts of the imagination before the reason has established them. If this is true, then reason is simply the methodizer of the imagination.
