On The Turning Away


I have turned away
From Hippocrates and Galen;
I have turned away
From Adam Smith and Marx;
I have turned away
From Plato and Wittgenstein;
Now I want to turn away
From Sankaracharya and Buddha.

I want to turn now
Towards That
Which
No theories, no experiments,
No explanations, no viewpoints,
No empathy, no compassion,
No kindness, no love,
No poetry, no philosophy,
No art, no architecture,
No astrology, no astronomy,
No science, no religion,
No pleasure, no pain,
No joy, no sorrow,
No ambition, no renunciation,
Can quite encompass.

On The Turning Away – Pink Floyd (Lyrics)
