The Infinite's Arrogance and Mysterious Actions
The concept of the infinite is portrayed as arrogant and all-powerful in its nature. It raises questions such as why it makes empty churches light candles and if it perceives something greater than itself. This contemplation leads to reflections on the brevity of life and the search for meaning, as depicted in poems by Sharon Olds and Charm Simmox. The conversation concludes with a note of gratitude and encouragement to explore more poetry through various podcasts offered by The New Yorker.
