If we could spy into each other, ken <br />The heathen aims and the familiar evils <br />That in the seeming good and virtuous reign; <br />If we could only pierce the fallacy <br />Each of the other, strip convention off, <br />And in our nakedness strut up and down <br />For thought's perusal — what a world 'twould be, <br />If then, like God all-seeing, we could come <br />Straight to the truth of others and ourselves!<br /><br />Robert Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/supernatural-discernment/
