![]() ![]() ![]() Words can bring forth feelings of outraged anger. A well-woven sentence speaks to the heart, it sings to the spirit. There is a difference between slapping words together in order to create a coherent sentence versus weaving words together in a composition of unparalleled artistry. Is there anything one can say that doesn't come off sounding trite? "I admire everything you've done." Really? Is there anything one can say that doesn't sound like a vast understatement, that doesn't make a person wince as they hear the clash of such stupid little words in the presence of such greatness? It is cruel how words often fail us at the most crucial moments. It's like thanking the one of the great living people on earth, someone one truly admires, like the Dalai Lama. Because my simple, stupid words are meaningless when it comes to describing the pure, untarnished brilliance of this book. In this case, in the case of my very favorite books, the right words just escape me because there's just nothing I can say. Oftentimes, it's because a book is so bad that I don't even know where to begin listing all the problems. Sometimes, words fail me when I need them most. ![]()
