When We're Sure of Nothing


                                  We can count on it
                                  When we're sure of nothing
                                  And curious about everything

                                  Among the material objects
                                  It favours clocks with pendulums
                                  And mirrors, which keep on working
                                  Even when no one is looking

from
A Few Words on the Soul
Wislawa Szymborska
