The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT It was six men of Indostan To learning much inclined, Who went to see the Elephant (Though all of them were blind), That each by observation Might satisfy his mind.
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT The first approach'd the Elephant, And happening to fall Against his broad and sturdy side, At once began to bawl: "God bless me! but the Elephant Is very like a wall!“
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT The second, feeling of the tusk, Cried, -"Ho! what have we here So very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear This wonder of an Elephant Is very like a spear!"
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT The third approached the animal, And happening to take The squirming trunk within his hands, Thus boldly up and spake: "I see," quoth he, "the Elephant Is very like a snake!"
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT The fourth reached out his eager hand, And felt about the knee. "What most this wondrous beast is like is mighty plain," quoth he, "'Tis clear enough the Elephant Is very like a tree!"
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT The fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, Said: "E'en the blindest man Can tell what this resembles most; Deny the fact who can, This marvel of an Elephant Is very like a fan!"
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT The sixth no sooner had begun About the beast to grope, Then, seizing on the swinging tail That fell within his scope, "I see," quoth he, "the Elephant Is very like a rope!"
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT And so these men of Indostan Disputed loud and long, Each in his own opinion Exceeding stiff and strong, Though each was partly in the right, And all were in the wrong!
The Renaissance/Reformation Era: Historical Background THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT So oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an Elephant Not one of them has seen! --John Godfrey Saxe
