現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)了？
A Hindoo Fable - by John Godfrey Saxe
I
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
（Thought all of them were blind）。
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
II The FIRST approached 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！'
III
The SECOND, feeling of the tusk,
Cried 'Ho！ What have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp？
To me 'tis mightly clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear.'
IV 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！'
V The FOURTH reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee,
'What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mightly plain, 'quoth he：
'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree！'
VI 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！'
VII
The SIXTH no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
'I see, 'quoth he, 'the Elephant
Is very like a rope！'
VIII
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.
IX
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！
