Hmmm, the conflict between thought and feeling, knowledge and sensation, the analytical mind versus the natural all-knowing body.
The Meaning of Existence - Les Murray
Everything except language
knows the meaning of existence.
Trees, planets, rivers, time
know nothing else. They express it
moment by moment as the universe.
Even this fool of a body
lives it in part, and would
have full dignity within it
but for the ignorant freedom
of my talking mind.
