Cunning glimpses

In this world of lies, Truth is forced to fly like a scared white doe in the woodlands;
and only by cunning glimpses will she reveal herself,
as in Shakespeare and other masters of the great Art of Telling the Truth,
— even though it be covertly, and by snatches.

            Herman Melville, Hawthorne and His Mosses
