Robert Browning: Truth Is Within Ourselves

Photo by Molly
Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things...
There is an inmost center in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness;...
... and 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, Paracelsus
