He is quick, thinking in clear images;
  I am slow, thinking in broken images.

  He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;
  I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images,

  Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;
  Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.

  Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact,
  Questioning their relevance, I question the fact.

  When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;
  When the fact fails me, I approve my senses.

  He continues quick and dull in his clear images;
  I continue slow and sharp in my broken images.

  He in a new confusion of his understanding;
  I in a new understanding of my confusion.

–Robert Graves
