I'd love to be shut away somewhere
for many days or years in the mountain air
with a fire,book and pen by the sea,
where all my thoughts take hold of me;
To drive truth into a corner,
interrogate it, force a confession;
If false no harm's done, I will be free
from all untruth or deceiving contriviality,
But if true, humbly submit my heart
and all truth's virtues to me impart.
