The Ineffable

“...to become aware of the ineffable is to part company with words...the tangent to the curve of human experience lies beyond the limits of language. The world of things we perceive is but a veil. Its flutter is music, its ornament science, but what it conceals is inscrutable. Its silence remains unbroken; no words can carry it away. Sometimes we wish the world could cry and tell us about that which made it pregnant with fear--filling grandeur.

Sometimes we wish our own heart would speak of that which made it heavy with wonder.”
~Abraham Heschel
