Things are not nearly so comprehensible and sayable as we are generally made to believe. Most experiences are unsayable: they come to fullness in a realm that words do not inhabit. And most unsayable of all are works of art, which--alongside our transient lives--mysteriously endure. Paris, February 18, 1903 Letters to a Young Poet Rainer Maria Rilke translation by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy
