Text: <br>“Honesty is the best policy.” Gloss: <br>“He means not ‘best’ but ‘policy,’ <br>(this is the joke of it) whereas in fact <br>Honesty is Honesty, Best <br>is Best, and Policy is Policy, <br>the three terms being not <br>related, but here loosely allied. <br>What is more important is that ‘is’ <br>is, but the rocklike truth of the text <br>resides in the ‘the’. The ‘the’ is The. <br>By this means the amusing sage <br>has raised or caused to be raised <br>the triple standard in stone: <br>the single is too simple for life, <br>the double is mere degrading hypocrisy, <br>but the third combines the first two <br>in a possible way, and contributes <br>something unsayable of its own: <br>this is the pit, nut, seed, or stone <br>of the fruit when the fruit has been <br>digested: <br>It is good to do good for the wrong <br>reason, better to do good for the good <br>reason, and best of all to do good <br>good: i.e. when the doer and doee <br>and whatever passes between them <br>are beyond all words like ‘grace’ <br>or ‘anagogic insight,’ or definitions like <br>‘particular instance of a hoped-at-law,’ <br>and which the rocks alone can convey. <br>This is the real reason for the rock walls, <br>the cave walls and pillars, and not the base <br>desires for permanence and display <br>that the teacher’s conceit suggests.” </div><div style="margin:10px 0">That is the end of the statements, but, <br>in order to go on a way after the end <br>so as to make up for having begun <br>after the beginning, and thus to come around <br>to it in order to include the whole thing, <br>add: “In some places the poignant slogan, <br>‘Morality is a bad joke like everything else,’ <br>may be written or not, granted that space <br>exists for the vulgar remarks, the dates, <br>initials and hearts of lovers, and all <br>other graffiti of the prisoners of this world.”</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Alan+Dugan">Alan Dugan</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=340393" data-title="Wall, Cave, And Pillar Statements, After Asoka de Alan Dugan" data-description="In order to perfect all readers the statements should he carved on rock walls, on cave walls, and on the sides of pillars so the charm of their instruction can affect the mountain climbers near the cliffs, the plainsmen near the pillars, an..."></div> </div> </div>
