A New Voice for Old Thoughts

i look up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real 

-Sam Sparro (Black&Gold)


Very true, he said. 
Of this then, which every soul of man pursues and makes the end of all his actions, having a presentiment that there is such an end, and yet hesitating because neither knowing the nature nor having the same assurance of this as of other things..

-Plato:  The Republic (Politeia) VI, 505e
