Today’s word is “ylem” ... the hypothetical initial substance of the universe from which all matter is derived. (Dictionary.com)
Before
We have by-guesses and by-gollys,
Regarding the beginnings of all things,
But we know not of the ylem, quarks,
Or the reality of strings.
Even the most sparkling intellect,
Cannot see past the start,
Anymore than we can ascertain,
The motives of the heart.
