An excerpt from “Letters to a Young Poet” by Rainer Maria Rilke

“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.
