No: truth exists in the soul. Language can only try to approximate
truth through imitation, with a success which is really only varying
degrees of failure.

Reality = scientific fact. Truth = what is humanly meaningful,
because it is something which we experience in day to day life
which we have already experienced in the soul (synonym: self,
unconscious.) Plato: we can only learn what we already know; truth
is what the soul remembers.
Poets are anatomists of the soul.
