Budget of Paradoxes (London, 1872), p. 473.

[2102]. Proof requires a person who can give and a person who can receive....

A blind man said, As to the Sun,

I’ll take my Bible oath there’s none;

For if there had been one to show

They would have shown it long ago.

How came he such a goose to be?

Did he not know he couldn’t see?

Not he.

—De Morgan, A.
