We lend an ear-nay, Science takes thereto-
Encourages the meanest who has racked
Nature until he gains from her some fact,
To state what truth is from his point of view,

Conduce to make a whole, she bids our friend
Come forward unabashed and haply lend
His little life-experience to our much
Of modern knowledge.

Be there, for once and all,
Severed great minds from small,
Announced to each his station in the Past!
Was I, the world arraigned,
Were they, my soul disdained,
Right? Let age speak the truth and give us peace at last!
Now, who shall arbitrate?
Ten men love what I hate,
Shun what I follow, slight what I receive;
Ten, who in ears and eyes
Match me: we all surmise,
They this thing, I that: whom shall my soul believe?

Robert Browning
It is the glory and good of Art
That Art remains the one way possible
Of speaking truth,—to mouths like mine, at least.
