“How poor a thing is language compared with the unmeaning yet significant combination of clangorous sounds in a battle or at a banquet, which not even a theatrical rendering can reproduce, and for which language possess but a few words! Yet how rich is language in the service of the wish, compared with its use for the description of reality.”
