In the poem, the author says that once he sails through the portal, he will acquire all the knowledge he needs. But, after sailing through the portal, all he sees are more portals. And in fact, he has to choose a specific portal, so he ends up realizing that he will never know everything.

I thought it was Tennyson, but I can't find anything like that. I'm pretty sure the poet was British, though.

I think Aristotelian ethics are the best foundation I know of. However I'm asking about a scientific or philosophical way of determining sound ethical principles.

I might read Debbie Macomber's Blossom St. series, so don't recommend that. I am currently reading her book Susannah's Garden and it's just ok. I wondered if anyone knew of any better authors who write stories having to do with knitting and female friendships.
I'd also like a good, easy book on the basics of knitting or if you know of any good websites on the basics.

One of the primary reasons we came out of the stone-age, was once we didn't have to worry 24-7-365 about strictly survival/food, we actually started thinking, and morphed into some greater than past generations. We started to create more tools, writing, literature, science, math, poetry, etc

Now with the world on a 24-7-365 mode of being entertained(or killing "boredom"), with I-PODs, CellPhones, E-Mail, ad nauseum, with no real time to think and process/assimilate information, where are we going?

Can you think of a totally new musical instrument in the past 100 years, or great philosopher? We have "cured" disease only for those same ones to come back in newer strains that drugs can't even touch.

Where are the great minds of the past 50 years? Or leaders for that matter?

Do you paint yourselves in boxes because of your race, gender,, age, external expectations of others or do we choose what we really desire????? Freedom is a state of mind.....Freedom is sign of self-awareness and outgrowth of our willingness to make conscious choices of our own free will......

There have to be a thousand old costumes in my closet at this moment.

And I have no idea what to do with them.

I really want to sell them and get some money for it. But I don't know where!!

Selling things on the internet don't work for me. So is there any stores you know about that would buy costums from someone?
Or at least take them out of my closet?!
