Eric: Hence the poet's love that has its reasons
which reason doth not know.
WO: .... All reasons take the logical form of
statements. Your poet above is woefully
confused about the nature of a reason. Which might
explain any broader confusions in life the poet
may have.
It wasn't a poet. It was a philosopher who wrote that.
"The heart has its reasons of which reason knows
nothing: we know this in countless ways."
(Pascal in Pensees)
My "space of reasons" detected a blanket
abhorrence of poets in Walter's responses, so I
tried this ploy. Even as I want to learn a
philosophical approach from Walter's patient
responses, and respect his learning, I feel
obliged to push back too.
Best,
Eric
