Perhaps,ofall questions,the mostbasicquestion is‘why?
IsaacNewton answeredthequestionwhyapplesfalldown
Heexplained hisanswerinterms ofGravity
Butwhyitshouldbeso,tobefrank,remainsunanswered
Ofcourse, ‘It'sGod's Will', devoteeswould earnestly assert
SophisticatedrationalistswouldsurelyattributeittoNature
Why isitthatsomeflowers witherawayeven beforebeginningtobloom?
Or, Whyisitthatthere should bebloomingand withering atall?
