The people who prefer the facts <br />to mere ideas seem dumb <br />to those who think of facts as tax <br />on those ideas that hum <br />around their brains, without support <br />of any shred of evidence. <br />I think idea-men really ought <br />to focus on the facts for sense, <br />because ideas without them spin <br />around the head like rings of Saturn; <br />ideas excite, but should not win <br />unless based on a factual pattern. <br /> <br />10/19/06<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ideas-and-facts/
