Truth:

Lewis Hyde:

"How odd that the Greek word now translated as "truth" is a negative - a-lethe, the not forgotten, the un-concealed - the implication being that the ground condition of the world (or of the mind) is obscurity and mytery and that persons who speak the truth have done the work of (or been given the gift for) un-hiding,  calling to mind what is otherwise veiled, covered, dark silent."

Viel muss vom Vergessen zugedeckt worden sein, damit wir effektiv erinnern und denken können.
