To Knowledge: It Is Worth Knowing



                 To Knowledge: It Is Worth Knowing

To every galaxy there is a firmament.
To every firmament there is a godhead.
To every godhead there is an angel.
To every angel there is a sky.
                                                                        
To every sky there is a constellation.
To every constellation there is a star-cluster.
To every star-cluster there is a moon.
To every moon there is a planet.
                                                                       
To every planet there is a jungle.
To every jungle there is a fallen-leaf.
To every fallen-leaf there is a fallen pod.
To every fallen pod there is worth of a bushel.
                                                                              
To every worth of a bushel there is a scale.
To every scale there is a format of justice.
To every format of justice there is a formable end.
To every formable end there is a findable middle.
                                                        
To every findable middle there is a commencement.
To every commencement there is a root.
To every root there is a river.
To every river there is a landing.                                                                         
                                                                      
To every landing there is a light-house.
To every light-house there is a master.
To every master there is a slave.
To every slave there is weakness.
                                                                      
To every weakness there is an ailment.
To every ailment there is medicament.
To every medicament there is a pharmaceutical factory.
To every pharmaceutical factory there is a shipment.
                                                                         
To every shipment there is a ship.
To every ship there is a pier.
To every pier there is a harbour.
To every harbour there is a city.
                                                        
To every city there is a country.
To every country there is an island.
To every island there is a kingdom.
To every kingdom there is a king.
                                                                          
To every king there is a queen.
To every queen there is a castille.
To every castille there is a lawn.
To every lawn there is a tea-party.

To every tea-party there is a servant.
To every servant there is a clown.
To every clown there is an asylum.
To every asylum there is a free-nation.
                                                                             
To every free-nation there is a unique-tradable.
To every unique-tradable there is a currency.
To every currency there is an economy.
To every economy there is international reckoning …
                                                                                                                                                   
… `international reckoning’ in Irish is eternal life.
