I am alone on a raft<\/p>\n
My ship sank<\/p>\n
I am the only survivor<\/p>\n
Very soon I will be alone<\/p>\n
On a desert island<\/p>\n
With resources aplenty<\/p>\n
But I will still be alone<\/p>\n
In my pocket I have a thin book<\/p>\n
The Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer<\/em><\/p>\n It is quite soaked as I am but is readable<\/p>\n Just before the ship sank<\/p>\n The Head Steward a simple man<\/p>\n Shot himself as he wished not to suffocate in the sea<\/p>\n His existence was far less mysterious to him<\/p>\n Than it was to me so he killed himself with my gun<\/p>\n Even though I noted that we might survive<\/p>\n We were searching for gold but discovered<\/p>\n Many other things of a greater value<\/p>\n As I write this with a blunt pencil<\/p>\n They all sleep on the sea bed<\/p>\n And in time will be forgotten<\/p>\n Above me I can hear the sea birds<\/p>\n Their music is the melody<\/p>\n Whose text is the world<\/p>\n I feel that I must be a day from an island<\/p>\n Where I know that I shall be alone<\/p>\n My little book tells me<\/p>\n That a man can be himself<\/p>\n Only for as long as he is alone<\/p>\n If this man does not love solitude<\/p>\n Then he will not love freedom<\/p>\n For it is only when he is alone<\/p>\n That he is really free<\/p>\n In time I will find out if this is true<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am alone on a raft My ship sank I am the only survivor Very soon I will be alone On a desert island With resources aplenty But I will still be alone In my pocket I have a thin book The Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer It is quite soaked as I am but is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10860"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10863,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10860\/revisions\/10863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
