Summary

This quote suggests that the art of language is inherently critical and creative. Language is not merely a means of communication; it also serves as a tool for critiquing and understanding life. Through speech, we name things, describe them, and make judgments about them, which in turn contributes to the act of creation. Language, therefore, is viewed as an artistic medium that carries a unique ability to critically analyze and creatively engage with the world.

You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not

You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.
