The Four Quarters

Antinomy*

This is a journey of poetry, musings and reflections written

to record some developmental milestones experienced (just as

lampposts are said to light up a way, and not just for canine

pets)…

To paraphrase, from start to finish at journey’s end, it is to view

that genesis from associated, alternate, albeit complimentary

perspectives. Sincerely.

*Paradox, a philosophical contradiction between two apparently

valid principles, both derived from identical initial premises.

Disambiguation: similar sounding antimony (Sb, element 51)

often used in alloy to strengthen softer metals

(reference CP Snow’s ‘Two Cultures’)

Point and Counterpoint

“We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time

Through the unknown, remembered gate”

Little Gidding
