The Skeptic: 1 von’T BELIEVE 11's POSSIBLE Wisdom THoucu there is wisdom in her eyes, I question if she’s read her Plato; I'm sure she'd look in wondering wise If I should chance to mention Cato. A Stoic she might deem a bird, And willingly I'd bet a bottle She couldn't quote a single word From out the works of Aristotle. If I said “Kant,” she'd think of “can't.” And puzzle haply half an hour; Spinoza, he might be a plant, As also might be Schopenhauer. And if I spoke of Stuart Mill, She'd give me a doubtful sort of shiver, With marvelment her face would fill, And she'd inquire, “upon what river?” Yet there is wisdom in her eyes, And on her lips what’s more than learning. And when you hear wherein it lies You will agree that I'm discerning. The riddle’s reading is just this: When trouble broods, and care de- presses, She knows the wisdom of a kiss, And all love's little tendernesses! Clinton Scollard. Wanted—a Name!
