I'm ambivalent about universities
But I now live near Hood College
Stopped by to see their library
I kinda like it

Reading is essentially mystical
Thinking with another person's brain
Maybe thinking Spain
It's true, Highness. Life is pain.

But also joy
Also the comfort of her voice
How curious. In the Wild West
Philosopher Josiah Royce

Not many American philosophers
Most of them hopeless shallow
Gerard Manley Hopkins at Oxford
Christ, His Mother, and all His Hallows.
