Too much acid makes the stomach

Take a spoonful in water and your

“O WORLD”
<By George. Santayana)
O world, thou choosest not the bet
ter part!
It is not wisdom to be only wise.
And on the Inward vision close the
eyes, * y
But it is wisdom to believe the
heart.
Columbus found a world, and had
no chart,
Save one that faith deciphered in
the skies;
^Po trust the soul’s invincible sur
mise
Was all his science find his only art.
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.
