I Have Met the Ibis

I have met the Ibis The Sacred Bird of Knowledge The reincarnation of Thoth Whose Wisdom knows no end. I now know why Theuth loved you as I do Why Socrates used you as his Muse For Arithmetic and All Calculations For Astronomy and Draughts and Dice For all invented ruminations. I understand your threefold countenance Of the earth you walk as Man Floating deity of space on water Ascending spirituality of the air. Born to reveal the will of the Gods Laid by Logos upon the waters of the Universe I beseech you now to bestow upon me Both knowledge and your grasp of reality.
