June Ingersoll: Doubting Brains

My friend Julian Haydon has created a website dedicated to the great agnostic, Robert G. Ingersoll. The site is set out like a newspaper and is a labour of love. Please check it out – the link is below. To give respect to both men, I will be posting some Ingersoll delights once a month to acquaint people with his genius. A short one this month.

WE TWO,

THE DOUBTING BRAIN AND HOPING HEART,

with somber thought and radiant wish

 in dusk and dawn,

in light and shade ‘neath star and sun,

together journeying toward the night.

And then the end, sighs the doubting brain

—but there is no end, says the hoping heart.

O Brain! if you knew, you would not doubt.

O Heart! if you knew, you would not hope.
