Interview
Deceive the mind whatever way yon- will; Distort stark facts you do not;choose to face; ", Warm truth till it has lost its power to chill: Supply reality such saving grace - Out of imagination's boundlessness As may conceal its sternness for an hour And cover its sharp edge with kindliness; Swear evil must succumb to goodness’ power; Practise these sweet deceptions if you must, > But never seek to hide the lie you tell, For in the end the body that you trust To bear the mind’s hard burden will rebel, 7'hen, broken, it will take to bed and cry For liberation from the mind's long he. —Althea Bass in the..,“American Poetry Journal.”
