Keep trying

"We have always been fascinated by infinite space, by the endless stars and by galaxies upon galaxies.How does a person feel when looking at the sky?

He thinks that he doesn't have enough tongues to describe what he sees. Nevertheless, people have never stopped describing the sky, simply listing what they see.

Lovers are in the same position.They experience a deficiency of language, a lack of words to express their feelings. But do lovers ever stop trying to do so?"

-Umberto Eco

Monk by the Sea by Caspar David Friedrich.
