For no truth can be Truthfully trusted at all — Bound by the laws of rhetoric To be only the persuasive truth Of opinion and conjecture And tradition is written by the Interpreters of embellishing myth And painted as attractive landscapes Of metaphor and meaning To learn is to rebel against tradition For true learning provokes by An apophasis of all truth That is based on appearances And the deceptive ordering of words To get to the heart of meaning
