<strong>350</strong> <strong>BC</strong> – <strong>AD</strong><strong>600</strong><br />
• 5c <strong>India</strong> court poet <strong>and</strong> philosopher.<br />
•Knowledge is man's<br />
crowning mark,<br />
A treasure secretly buried,<br />
The source <strong>of</strong> luxury, fame,<br />
<strong>and</strong> bliss,<br />
A guru most venerable,<br />
A friend on foreign<br />
journeys,<br />
The pinnacle <strong>of</strong> divinity.<br />
Knowledge is valued by kings<br />
beyond wealth---<br />
When he lacks it, a man is a<br />
brute.<br />
What does this poem suggest about<br />
the importance <strong>of</strong> knowledge? How<br />
does Mr. Schenk feel about<br />
knowledge?
