EXERCISE IN LOGIC
I gave you a picture once,
A great crimson sun floating beside a gnarled bamboo.
The sun has faded;
For which reason, I think nothing of the painter,
Until I reflect that many pigments cannot bear the
dazzle of excessive light.
For, my Dear, have you not sat opposite it daily?
I ask you, is there truth in this?
