You read and wrote, wrote and read,

carved into the beams and woodwork

of your tower, your favourite quotes

— your preferred company,

for what could be pleasanter than

to have their authors speak to you

across millennia yet leave you alone,

giving you “scope and freedom” to think;

have them spring to life in your essays

and demolish one another’s arguments?

No dogma was secure from the play

of your mind as you sat surrounded

by pagan friends whom you loved

and honoured but discarded

along with their congenial wisdom,

their comforting truths for, like

the skeptic, Sextus Empiricus,

you knew that truth is curved

and time itself a circle.
