THE SOLUTION by CHARLES WILLIAMS

First Line: PERFECTION
Last Line: IS NINETY-NINE DECIMAL NINE RECURRING.
Subject(s): PERFECTION;

PERFECTION
Is a quality impossible of attribution
To any created being;
Imperfection
Is a quality impossible of attribution,
Fairest, to you;
I suppose, therefore,
That your percentage of perfection
Is ninety-nine decimal nine recurring.
