267. He is the wisest man

```

He is a fool

Because

He has not read any books.

Perhaps so he is.

He is a wise man

Because

He has read ten thousand books.

Perhaps so he is.

He is a wiser man

Because

He has read fifteen thousand books.

Perhaps so he is.

He is the wisest man,

By far

The wisest man,

Who has read only two special books:

Aspiration-height

And

Surrender-light.
