The Handdara of Ursula Le Guin

Invented in 1969

Worked strenuously to divide

Answerable from unanswerable questions.

Answerable ones they could even answer.

But these, they said, could never matter.

There are always more.

Nor will their answers cure

The urge to ask again.

Without discussing them at all

They preferred the unanswerable.

Years of a careful backward practice

Let them feel a question and not ask it.

Just so Wittgenstein’s “mystical feeling.”

I find it more and more appealing.

Wittgenstein also slaved and slaved

To work out what made sense to say

By proceeding negatively.

Endless fiddly propositions:

He made them up just to dismiss them.

So much for logical positivism.

Answers. Answers. Questions. Questions.

I for one am sick to death of them.
