Reflection.
Meaning cannot be reduced to its expression.
The distillation of meaning, knowledge, truth, liberty, and the like, into formulae is ultimately impossible because these qualities, embedded in the real, are inexhaustible, ever renewing, ever in process of being increased. The mere attempt to express meaning GROWS meaning. Yet meaning, truth, liberty, etc., do not change in themselves. The fire of liberty remains fire, but grows brighter with action done in its service.
With the increasing illumination one imagines that attraction likewise increases and that correspondingly that “spirit whence issued forth of old…” this cosmic activity, smiles a little more at the unfolding of his intention.
