The blind men and theelephant

John Godfrey Saxe's ( 1816-1887) version of the famous Indian

legend


3/17

It was six men of Indostan

To learning much inclined,

Who went to see the Elephant

(Though all of them were blind),That each by observation

Might satisfy his mind.


4/17

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!"


5/17

The Second, feeling of the tusk,

Cried, "Ho! what have we here

So very round and smooth and

sharp?To me 'tis mighty clear

This wonder of an Elephant

Is very like a spear!"


6/17

The Third approached the

animal, And happening to takeThe squirming trunk within his

hands,

Thus boldly up and spake:

"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant

Is very like a snake!"


7/17

The Fourth reached out an eager

hand,And felt about the knee.

"What most this wondrous beast

is like

Is mighty plain," quoth he;

"Tis clear enough the ElephantIs very like a tree!"


8/17

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!"


9/17

The Sixth no sooner had begun

About the beast to grope,

Than, seizing on the swinging tail

That fell within his scope,"I see," quote he, "the Elephant

Is very like a rope!"


10/17

And so these men of IndostanDisputed 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!
