Leipsic as well as elsewhere, the austere Goddess of Truth will find
devoted and loving worshippers, as well as dutiful subjects, only when
she exhibits goodness of heart combined with grace of manner as does my
grandfather."
Perhaps she is not altogether wrong, though women....
And yet both Greeks and Romans represented Truth under the guise of a
woman.
FINIS.
