Logick within a circle of symmetry A captive heart has the tendency To alter or falter acts of the mind, By which accumulates a measure of human fallacy, Intending to lead our affairs of love into an awful bind. In my sanctum adytum, my soul's shelter, Even the swiftest atom is brought into its base Corporeal forms and for love and its geodesies Have I even less command over my intellects chamber. There are no things simple in such a world of complex simplicity To a mind of topology ever seeking to find an equanimity Among smooth passion, coarse calculation, and sound conclusions, Erstwhile questing for a methodical harmony to all their components. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
