"How astonishing it is that language can almost mean,
and frightening that it does not quite. Love, we say,
God, we say, Rome and Michiko, we write, and the words
Get it wrong. My love is a hundred pitchers of honey.
Shiploads of thuya are what my body wants to say to your body.
Giraffes are this desire in the dark. Perhaps the spiral Minoan script
is not a language but a map. What we feel most has no name but
amber, archers, cinnamon, horses and birds."

- Alfred A.Knopf
