They Do It With Mirrors
P O S T E D B Y E N R I Q U E
Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,
I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,
Nature without check with original energy.
Walt Whitman, Song of Myself

Edmund Husserl, Ideas
