Narrative of Life
Aristoteles:
"I spent my long life exploring this world
and expressing in clear logical terms
potent facts about its physical nature,
but all my platitudes describing truth
wither like fruit in biting winter wind.
I spent all my life with devoted friends,
surrounded by colleagues and listeners
as we discussed rich purpose of this life,
but now I sit alone by weeping sea.
More isolated I become these days,
contemplating winding path of my life,
more I like stories painting human life
that illustrate vital principles
of fundamental truths about this world."
