ON A TALK ON SPINOZA Durant spoke of Spinoza yesterday And I sat listening, feeling, mediating, And now and ever afterwards will feel And live and think more deeply than before, For having heard Durant speak of Spinoza. Spinoza! what a mighty, mighty name! All Alexanders, Caesars and Napoleons - Mere specks of dust upon a polished lens, Compared to this poor polisher of lenses, He polished lenses for myoptic eyes; ... The World's myoptic eyes have need of them - And long will need them - poor myoptic world. My own sight seems improved since I heard Durant speak of Spinoza yesterday. (Adolf Wolff) |
