Philosopher

One that dazzles minds
questions everything, anything
argues without ceasing
looks at world upside-down
builds mountains from moles
makes ordinary extra-ordinary
eyes as sharp as sword
master of doubts
creates something from nothing
challenges common wisdom
has no feeling for feelings
has burning tongue, cold heart
50 years old but 100 years in thought
discovers new things without voyages
stands on dead men’s shoulders
