Starting In Truth
Starting in Truth
Should be the teacher's motive..
It is an acquaintance
By the Teacher of her
Own Identity..
Starting elsewhere..in a textbook
In a settled belief..only serves
To diminish the teacher and to
Guarantee a quick departure of
The thing that is intended
To be taught..a Recognition that
Textbooks and beliefs are
Unsteady tools of Truth which
May be discarded in
A more favorable Wind...
