They stay in my mind, these beautiful people,
or anyway beautiful people to me, of which
there are so many. You, and you, and you,

the names of their makers. Or clouds, or the sun
which was the first, and the best, the most

my eyes, every morning. So I imagine
such love of the world - its fervency, its shining, its

All philosophers - and others - have always paid a great deal of attention to ideas seen as the result of thought and observation; but in modern times all too little attention has been paid to the study of the ideas which form the very instruments by which thought and observation proceed. On the basis of experience and conscious thought small ideas may easily be dislodged, but when it comes to bigger. more universal, or more subtle ideas it may not be so easy to change them.
