A cynical view of the world by Ambrose Bierce

n.

A writer who guesses his way to the truth and dispels it with a tempest of words.

    "More dear than all my bosom knows, O thou
    Whose 'lips are sealed' and will not disavow!"
    So sang the blithe reporter-man as grew
    Beneath his hand the leg-long "interview."
                                                          Barson Maith
