“Our
knowledge is a torch of smoky pine
That
lights the pathway but one step ahead
Across
a void of mystery and dread.
Bid,
then, the tender light of faith to shine
By
which alone the mortal heart is led
Unto
the thinking of the thought divine.”— Philosopher, essayist,
poet, and novelist George Santayana (1863-1952), “Poems: I,” in The Philosophy of Santayana: Selections From All the Works, edited by Irwin
Edman (1953)
