Today's Stichomancy for Yasser Arafat

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Poems of Goethe, Bowring, Tr. by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

Of that, I know nought! Yet that the book of all books it must be,

I believe, as a Mussulman ought. That from Eternity wine, though, must be,

I ever have thought; That 'twas ordain'd, ere the Angels, to be,

As a truth may be taught. Drinkers, however these matters may be,

Gaze on God's face, fearing nought.

1815. -----
