Follow the track

Listen, then observe

Every impression, for

A path is forming towards

Real comprehension;

Naturally, there is more and more…

It fascinates me that the Old English word leornian, meaning to gain knowledge, to think about, goes back to a sense of finding a track and following it. This comes from the PIE root *leis- (1) “track or furrow.” The related Old English word læst means “sole.” Soles and souls make impressions.
