“the cluttered eyes
of early mysterious night.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
“True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error there may be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.”
