"The Pleasant truth" (1966) by rene MAGRITTE |
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant---Success in Circuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightening to the Children easedWith explanation kindThe Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind---
Do you agree with Dickinson?
And Wallace Stevens wrote: "In the long run the truth does not matter."

Are you glad of hidden darkness
ReplyDeleteSo poetically cautious and meticulous
Full of high sentences
But a bit obscure
At times almost ridiculous
Almost at times foolish
Sometimes glimpsed
In the folded shadows
That drift in yellow fogs
That dream of truth
And lie in uncertainty
And always arrive unbidden
With half closed eyes
