Summary

This quote emphasizes that the eloquence or style of speech does not determine the truthfulness or falsehood of an assertion. Just because something is spoken poorly or lacks grace does not automatically make it untrue, and similarly, a beautifully articulated statement does not guarantee its accuracy. It implies that one should not be swayed by the presentation or delivery of information, but rather focus on the content and evidence provided to assess its validity.

Ever reviled, accursed, ne'er understood,Thou art the grisly terror of our age.Wreck of all order, cry the multitude,Art thou, and war and murder's endless rage.O, let them cry.
