Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.

For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.

I sometime hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.

I sometimes hold it half a sin,
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like nature, half reveal
And half conceal the soul within.

Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.

The language that reveals also obscures.

…People try to hide it from others or try to cover it up…But in the world of literature, you can reveal that nature, and it’s OK to do so.

Language dazzles and deceives because it is masked by faces, because we see it emerging from the lips, because lips please and eyes beguile. But words on paper, black on white, reveal the naked soul.

Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness.

It is the nature of the Word to reveal to me what has been hidden.

Language can be very adept at hiding the truth.

There are stories hidden in the language we use, whether we're conscious of them or not. They tell the truth of our hearts and minds.

Our words tend to conceal what is private and particular in our impressions, and to make us believe that different people live in a common world to a greater extent than is in fact the case.

Nature is wont to hide herself.
