    “Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
    principle, no unique definition of truth. Any so-called pragmatic
    definition of truth is doomed to failure equally.”

    to me unless I go
    to it; a grape tendril
    ties a knot in knots till

    knotted thirty times,—”
