'Taste not, ' said God; ' 't is mine and angels' meat;
' A certain death doth sit,
' Like an ill worm, i' th' core of it.
'Ye cannot know and live, nor live or know and eat. '
Thus spoke God, yet man did go
Ignorantly on to know;
Grew so more blind, and she
Who tempted him to this, grew yet more blind than he.
Abraham Cowley,The Tree Of Knowledge

Leucon, no one's allowed to know his fate,
Not you, not me: don't ask, don't hunt for answers
In tea leaves or palms. Be patient with whatever comes.
This could be our last winter, it could be many
More, pounding the Tuscan Sea on these rocks:
Do what you must, be wise, cut your vines
And forget about hope. Time goes running, even
As we talk. Take the present, the future's no one's affair.
Horace, Roman, 65-8 BCE ( translated by Burton Raffel)

You who want
knowledge,
see the Oneness
within.

There you
will find
the clear mirror
already waiting.
Hadewijch II, Antwerp, 13th century ( translated by Jane Hirshfield)
