Anyone Who Knows Anything

Anyone who knows anything 

About whatever might be so,

Knows knowing cannot ever bring

Him to the end of what’s to know.

And whether it is apropos

To knowledge a priori or

Posteriori—just to know

Is what we all are looking for.

Nobody wonders what is true

Without believing first in that

Whatever anybody knew

There was what was to be looked at.

It didn’t come out of nowhere

To happen by mere accident

That there is something over there

Because it had to have been meant.
