Addendum

Addendum

  • It was six men of Indostan,

  • To learning much inclined,

  • Who went to see the Elephant

  • (Though all of them were blind),

  • That each by observation

  • Might satisfy his mind.

  • The Firstapproach'd the Elephant,

  • And happening to fall

  • Against his broad and sturdy side,

  • At once began to bawl:

  • "God bless me! but the Elephant

  • Is very like a wall!"

  • The Second, feeling of the tusk,

  • Cried, -"Ho! what have we here

  • So very round and smooth and sharp?

  • To me 'tis mighty clear,

  • This wonder of an Elephant

  • Is very like a spear!"

  • The Thirdapproach'd the animal,

  • And happening to take

  • The squirming trunk within his hands,

  • Thus boldly up and spake:

  • "I see," -quoth he- "the Elephant

  • Is very like a snake!"

  • The Fourthreached out an eager hand,

  • And felt about the knee:

  • "What most this wondrous beast is like

  • Is mighty plain," -quoth he,-

  • "'Tis clear enough the Elephant

  • Is very like a tree!"

  • The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,

  • Said- "E'en the blindest man

  • Can tell what this resembles most;

  • Deny the fact who can,

  • This marvel of an Elephant

  • Is very like a fan!"

  • The Sixthno sooner had begun

  • About the beast to grope,

  • Then, seizing on the swinging tail

  • That fell within his scope,

  • "I see," -quoth he,- "the Elephant

  • Is very like a rope!"

  • And so these men of Indostan

  • Disputed loud and long,

  • Each in his own opinion

  • Exceeding stiff and strong,

  • Though each was partly in the right,

  • And all were in the wrong!

MORAL,

  • So, oft in theologic wars

  • The disputants, I ween,

  • Rail on in utter ignorance

  • Of what each other mean;

  • And prate about an Elephant

  • Not one of them has seen!

-John Godfrey Saxe
