Of all the many reasons
For seeking Truth, this one
Is patently the noblest:
For love of Truth alone.
Not for the hope of heaven,
Not for the fear of hell,
But for the love of Truth itself—
Truth, the ineffable!
From the March 1950 issue of The Christian Science Journal
Of all the many reasons
For seeking Truth, this one
Is patently the noblest:
For love of Truth alone.
Not for the hope of heaven,
Not for the fear of hell,
But for the love of Truth itself—
Truth, the ineffable!
