Day seventy-eight

All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason. -Immanuel Kant

Higher than reason.

(Architecture of a poem unwritten)

Line one: Something about Kant and how he didn't believe in miracles
Line two: Reiterate line 1 with a substantial metaphor.
Line three: Something about reasoning and the rational mind
Line four: A simile about the mind and the rational mind.
Line five: Nature imagery. juxtaposition of nature and religion. Perhaps a church in a meadow.
Line six: Metaphor about the image above. More nature.
Line seven: Tie in higher than reason with "God" and how He could be higher than reason
Line eight: Question tie in with God and add metaphor, perhaps alliteration
Line nine: More imagery and religious symbolism
Line ten: Final flourish, a question, employ assonance, rhyme, and a strong finishing image. perhaps something disturbing.

This was definitely a cop-out
