Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense

Paraphrase and interpret this passage into your own words (simpler explanation : Nietzshe writes :` What then is truth ? A movable host of metaphors , metonymies , and anthromorphisms : in a short , the sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified transferred , and embellished , and which , after long usage , seem to a people to be fixed , canonical and binding .
