One more (Bidart)
One more poem, one more book in which you figure out how to make something out of not knowing enough.
Frank Bidart, from "Writing 'Ellen West'"

If you think your belief is based upon reason, you will support it by argument rather than by persecution, and will abandon it if the argument goes against you. But if your belief is based upon faith, you will realize that argument is useless, and will therefore resort to force either in the form of persecution or by stunting or distorting the minds of the young in what is called 'education.'
