Science has never, never answered “yes.”
Indeed all psycho-physiological sciences show,
If we’d be loyal, we must answer “no!”
Man cannot recollect before being born,
And hence his future life must be “in a horn.”
There must be a parte ante if there’s a parte post,
And logic thus demolishes every future ghost.
Upon this subject the voice of science
Has ne’er been aught but stern defiance.
Mythology and magic belong to “limbus fatuorum;”
