' "truth" said a traveller '

"Truth" said a traveller,
Is a rock a mighty fortress;
Often I have been to it,
Even to its highest tower,
From whence the world looks black.

"Truth" said a traveller,
Is a breath, a wind
A shadow, a phantom;
Long have I pursued it,
But never have I touched
The hem of its garment

And i believed the second traveller;
For truth was to me
A breath, a wind,
A shadow, a phantom,
And never had I touched
The hem of its garment.
