The Mind

Nosce Teipsum: Objection IV

by Sir John Davies 1569–1626

From Complete Poems, ed. Grosart (1876)

The Mind

But still this crue with questions me pursues:
If soules deceas'd (say they) still liuing bee;
Why do they not return, to bring vs newes
Of that strange world, where they such wonders see?
