Experimantal sonnetry .... maybe even precociously self indulgent ... i don't know.... but i love the science/mystery debate.... and this is an attempt to picture it in words

you have to read it aloud to make it scan.... but the iambic pentameter holds and i think it's ok as Shakespearean

but feel free to tell me it's not!

Yes, it was good.

The last two lines caused me to laugh. Was I wrong ?

nope ..... you were right

the point is, i think, that neitzche can think all he wants to think about the absence of mystery.... but all of his sophisticated thought can be undone by the whiff of perfume wafting over from a beautiful woman .... and that baccus and aphrodite et al don;t need a modernist philosopher's thesis to justify (or otherwise) their existence

smiley - cheers to mystery
