Some people think anything sounds profound, as long as it's spoken with a British accent.
The poet is as original as an irritating alarm clock on a Monday morning.
Not much to that paradigm is there. "Convince me of something and I'll believe it. Otherwise I won't."
Earth-shatteringly brilliant, I must say.

"Just this". Yet 'tis still a mystery, and magic does happen, like you and me and the whole shebang from dust and gases. How did "he-she-it, do that - WOW!?
Seems its mark is that it happens when no one is trying to "make it happen".
