Elizabeth Comments

Covering the terrible fear that a little knowledge can elicit, with a little humor. I liked it

This is a lovely sounding poem but the first stanza just doesn't make sense to me. I've tried and tried to work out its meaning but without success. The poem does however sound like something out of first year Philosophy at University - authoritative with sharp logic & reasoning qualities.

what a lovely poem! powerful humor...the title is arresting as i thought to see who Elizabeth is, and found an interesting poem!

A scientist is one who knows Nearly all of nearly nothing. A salesman is one who knows Nearly nothing of nearly all.” I like this verse....How wonderful! !

I just found this fine poem of yours R.G., and truly like it.

Distinctly amusing and certainly well-crafted... but.... doctor of prophesy... hmmm... does the beast exist? I don't really think Nostradamus would count but perhaps the Englishman, Dr. John Dee, or one of several Islamic mathematician-philosopher-seekers-after-gold whose names I never can recall? In any case, thanks for this. Cerebral humor on PoemHunter, who would've guessed it? - Bep.
