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.
