When a philosopher retires,
Does a philosopher stop thinking?

How about a man who knows
A thing about escaping heat?

Would he find retirement
To be too cool?

After facing Hitler and dodging him across Europe
Would a simple non-working life be enough?

After writing bunches of books
Could he sit back a see what was in the tea leaves?

No matter, for Dietrich von Hildebrand
Was one voice of inspiration.
