The Cambridge Tradition

The Cambridge Tradition2.jpg
What a dream, a yearning,
A privilege to be distinguished
By one's own effort
Amidst the fusty odor of clothes and books!

Here you have an opportunity
To imbibe a liberal tradition,
Select a philosopher and then
Work diligently towards an end.

There is a tradition of a thousand years
Within the tree of knowledge,
From medieval to post-enlightenment,
That just can't go wrong!

But remember, an impudent skirmish
With the cultures of the world
And their strange cosmologies
May leave you naked and dispossessed!

You might then feel that you're
Directing the thoughts and actions
Of the world you live in
Through somewhat inflated categories.
