'God does not belong to the scientist, 
nor to the logician; 
he belongs to the poets,
to the realm of dreams; 
he is the symbol of Beauty,
Beauty itself.
 
Gaugin 1897

The Great Truth
 
No paradox for this great truth
for one without the other
does not exist.
 
Such noble aspirations
of intellect and strength
pale quickly in the heat of mid-day sun.
 
But marry such sweet intellect
with passion unabridged
then perfect is the world and thou.
