Lucretius quote. (1924)

From the May 1924 issue of the Socialist Standard
For fools are always fain
To measure meanings by the gaudy show
Of twisted words that hide them. And a strain
That fills their ears with honeyed overflow
Of phrase and music is at once decreed
Surely to hold the very truth indeed.
                                                       Lucretius
