Not Conceptual Speech, But Music. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
Not Conceptual Speech, But Music.
The mixed metaphors
and contradictory expressions
one finds in mystical literature
demonstrate
that not conceptual speech,
but music rather,
is the element through
which we are best spoken
to by mystical truth.
The poemexplores the limitations of conceptual language when it comes to conveying the elusive and profound truths found in mystical literature.
that not conceptual speech, but music rather, is the element through which we are best spoken to by mystical truth......true dictum. Beautiful poem.
