I discovered this in some old and yellowed paper of mine That I wrote some fifty years ago. A poor and uneducated farmer once had a son. Swore to himself that his son would be educated. Did everything in his power to make that come true. Put him with a master to be instructed in wisdom. After twenty long years of study he returned home. His father so eager for the wisdom to spill out sat in silence. But nothing came forth from his son that ate quietly. The farmer taken beyond patience said at last, where is thy wisdom you are as quite as the child I sent away? Where upon the son turned and said, Father, wisdom is like looking into a mirror It reflects naught but what is there to reflect. |
