“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.” - Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

In wisdom's realm, Sor Juana reigned,

A seeker of truths, her mind unchained.

With every word, with every tome,

She delved into knowledge, made it her own.

"The more I read," she mused aloud,

"The more I see, in knowledge's shroud,

That certainty escapes my grasp,

A humbling truth, a wisdom's clasp."

With quill in hand and pages turned,

Her thirst for learning, ever burned.

For in her quest, she came to find,

The boundless vastness of the mind.

Through realms of thought, her spirit soared,

Her curiosity never ignored.

A scholar, poet, a brilliant mind,

A legacy of wisdom, left behind.

In every word, in every line,

Sor Juana's truth continues to shine.

That in the endless sea of thought,

We find humility, as we're taught:

"The more I read, the more I gain,

The more I see the limits of my brain.

In the vast expanse of knowledge's sea,

I find, in knowing, my own mystery."
