The date the Athenians came to strife <br />the way that Homer ended life <br />the name of Henry's second wife <br />the winners of the cup <br />in the year that terror struck. <br />A master mind would know it all <br />as he sits and watches shadows <br />on a dark Socratic wall. <br />But I wouldst know <br />that which when truly seen <br />nothing here remains to be known <br />and brings an end <br />to my fascination in <br />those changing shadows <br />dancing in the cave of men.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/know-it-all/
