What's True?

I know what Sterling is-- 92.5% silver, 7.5% copper, and I know how to weld, shape, and work it. It's coinage, the silver of a ring, a bit of a star, a little bird.

Fitz is porcelain and gloves and the fur pelt of a polecat.

So then True must be the solid smooth touchstone, honesty, essence, the center.
Elusive as a silverquick polecat.

And I'm not touching Fassbinder with gloves or a ten foot pole...
