Truth is voice's body ?

In the west, our head gets in the way too often ?

Body is voice's truth?

Body is truth's voice?

Voice is body's truth?

Truth is body's voice?

There, that should cover all the bases.

To much eguivocation does not give Voice to the Truth. I like the first one best, and Jon's variation. Covering all the bases just dilutes it.

Truth and Voice embody each other. And lend support.

My wife and I were discussing postmodernism last evening, and she summed up thusly:

Truth is a Great White Whale.

I quizzed her about the origin of this, and she claims though the idea is well know amoung students of Melvile, it is original to her.

Truth and Voice embody each other - I like that.

Can't have one without the other (in the long run), no ?

There is no truth in voice, because ears hear what they want.
