A WAYFARING1 MAN, traveling in the desert, met a woman standing

　　alone and terribly dejected. He inquired of her, "Who art thou?"

　　"My name is Truth," she replied. "And for what cause," he asked,

　　"have you left the city to dwell alone here in the wilderness2?"

　　She made answer, "Because in former times, falsehood was with

　　few, but is now with all men."
