The Story
Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things, whate’re you may believe.
There is an inmost center in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness; and around
Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in.
This perfect clear perception — which is Truth to KNOW
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence THE IMPRISONED SPLENDOR may escape
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without.
– Robert Browning
