Wittgenstein Was Right Poem by Kurt Philip Behm
Wittgenstein Was Right
The sum of all possibility,
true nature of our soul
To act upon or take flight from,
virtues to extol
What may or may not happen,
to inspire or pretend
The choice is ours, the will empowers
—to flee or to ascend
(Bryn Mawr College: September,2020)
I have read Wittgenstein's philosophy in the two major books, and, in particular, his analysis of language games. He was a most original philosopher.

I looked up the titles of Wittgenstein's 2 books: ' Tractatus Logico Philosophicus', and 'Philosophical Investigations'. No wonder I could not remember the titles. But they are great books.
