Well it is
    to seek perfection,
    for such, I say,
    is truth.

    Empyreal perfection,
    beside -
     all is naught.
 
 

     This is another graphic design.  In this one, thin blue lines are used to visually texture the page.  A pinwheel interrupts the texture of a haphazard arrangement of parallel, vertical lines.  This is imposed over a squared plane of horizontal parallel lines.  This, in turn, interrupts another pinwheel pattern.  Like the previous page, the representation of the graphic design is straightforward truth beside untruth; black and white, or, in this case, blue and white. Blue is used throughout this work as a sign of optimism. Perhaps the characters in our play-like dialogue are getting more comfortable with the concept of ultimate Truth.
    The first four lines of the poem are written in the blue, cursive script. They state that the author thinks it a good idea to seek truth, which it sees as the perfect cause of existence.  The remaining three lines are in the black, gothic script.  They respond that Truth is indeed the highest form of perfection.  In fact, the black script says, there is no existence outside of Truth, at least none of any worth. Our black script, once neutral, appears to be getting pompous over this matter.
