ABORTION (2)

matter and form ... potency and act ... now that talk was a long time ago and we've had all these years to digest ... but the trouble has been all this expiring seniority and a dwindling stock of recruits ... consequently as you might expect our part of the tradition has been narrowed and in part is now frayed ... the thread is unbroken but no longer does it bind ... think of it ... to put these two polarities together ... what does it do ... in six words it gives you two definitions ... that's half the world's causes ... matter is potency means privation ... form is act means here's what you wanted ... matter is aimless looking with a big pulse ... form is finding with no heartbeat at all ... potency means power but what does it mean without act ... potency means power but what does it mean without life ... and what does it mean in time ... you think it has no spirit or purpose then how can it act ... you say matter is essential but form is an accident ... you mean to say admit it that law is a chaos but power is a fact ... now put potency in its womb what do you care what can you that anything should come out
