   Vanish the thought! If it is turtles all the way   
   down, what is left if they are fully exterminated?   
   Will thought and the imagination, mind overall,   
   still exist?   
      
   On one hand, those inclined to cynicism will say   
   that God knows to have fun at our expense, on   
   the other those inclined to grace will say that   
   God knows to redeem himself by way of us, but   
   if all vanishes, up and down, what is left, God   
   included? And if all vanishes, will the ensuing   
   nothingness still exist, forever and ever more?   
   Would that fall to God's competence to decide?   
   Er, what kind of vicious circles am I getting into?
