    Rondelet for Sergeant Schultz

    I know nothings.

    It’s an oxymoron, I know.

    I know nothings,

    Oh to think of it is numbing!

    I know, perhaps, “I am”, although

    To say this is quite apropos:

    I know nothings!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
