In A Lecture Room Comments

Great poem. Philosophy can not be constructed just by mind alone. It must be backed by calls from a higher spirit.

An interesting write up. Thanks for sharing.

As a philosophy graduate I can relate to this poem. Indeed, it does seem to, ' perplex the head/ And leave the spirit dead..' I rarely study it these days. Currently my focus is firmly on creativity...poetry.

Such a nice write here... so enjoyable in reading

the strong current flowing, Right onward to the Eternal Shore

Clouds that sink! ! With the muse of life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Such a great write by Arthur Hugh Clough..........................

All These things we see are passing away, vanity of philosophies, vanity of wisdoms, vanity of vanities, we are all passing away with it.
