Every Phenomenon Of Nature Was A Word,

Everything The Human Being Heard From The Beginning, Saw With Its Eyes, Looked Upon And Touched With Its Hands Was A Living Word; For God Was The Word.

Our Reason Arises, At The Very Least, From This Twofold Lesson Of Sensuous Revelations And Human Testimonies.

If Only I Was As Eloquent As Demosthenes, I Would Have To Do No More Than Repeat A Single Word Three Times. Reason Is Language - Logos; I Gnaw On This Marrowbone And Will Gnaw Myself To Death Over It. It Is Still Always Dark Over These Depths For Me: I Am Still Always Awaiting An Apocalyptic Angel With A Key To This Abyss.

Hence It Happens That One Takes Words For Concepts, And Concepts For The Things Themselves

Everything Is Vain And Tortures The Spirit Instead Of Calming And Satisfying It.
