Truth
Truth is sought for itself-
And seeking that which is thought for itself
One is only concerned to find it
—-
—-
It is thus the duty of (Wo)man
Who studies the writings of scientists
If learning the truth is his goal
To make himself an enemy of all that
(s)he reads,
Applying her mind to the core and margins
Of its content
Attack it from every side
(S)he should suspect self as (s)he performs
critical examination of it
So that she may avoid falling in
Either prejudice ot leniency
If she follows this path, the truth
May be revealed to her
And whatever shortcomings or uncertainties
May exist in the discourse of those
Who came before her will become manifest!
