Finding the Balance of Harmony

“The closest approximation to truth
is found usually
in the mean of extreme views.”

“In the light of fuller knowledge it
will be thought that the claim has lapsed,
or only remains as a pious belief
prevailing among an uncritical minority. …
Whose mental bias predisposes them
to the defense of exploded views.
In such a case, however,
an indiscriminate rejection
is not much less superficial
than an unenquiring acquiescence of a non-proven claim.
The history of debated questions
of his kind
teaches another lesson,
and the closest approximation to truth
is found usually
in the mean of extreme views.”
