Tricks in my pocket

Yes, I have tricks in my pocket,
    I have things up my sleeve. 

But I am the opposite of a stage magician.

He gives you illusion
    that has the appearance of truth. 

I give you truth
    in the pleasant disguise of illusion.

        Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie
        Born March 26, 1911
