A Study on George Berkeley's Theory of an Infinite Perceiver



There was a young man who said, "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
If he finds that this tree
Continues to be
When there's no one about in the Quad." 

REPLY:
Dear Sir:
Your astonishment's odd:
I am always about in the Quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be,
Since observed by
Yours faithfully,
GOD.
-Ronald Knox

Your random limerick for the week. You're welcome. Despite appearances thus far, this is not only a post with a limerick. It is serving a double purpose as an announcement that I am going to post more often! Or at least try to do so. Now that I'm married, I think I'll have more time on my hands, and I've got an idea for a two-part series of posts, which I will start on next week. 

Until then,
