“Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
\nFrom outward things, whate’er you may believe:
\nThere is an inmost centre in us all,
\nWhere truth abides in fullness; and around
\nWall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in,
\nThis perfect clear perception \u2014 which is truth;
\nA baffling and perverting carnal mesh
\nBlinds it, and makes all error: and ‘to know’
\nRather consists in opening out a way
\nWhence the imprisoned splendour may escape,
\nThan in effecting entry for a light
\nSupposed to be without. Watch narrowly
\nThe demonstration of a truth, its birth,
\nAnd you trace back the effluence to its spring
\nAnd source within us, where broods radiance vast,
\nTo be elicited ray by ray, as chance Shall favour.”<\/p>\n
