Summary

This quote suggests that our understanding of the world is primarily based on illusions rather than genuine wisdom. It implies that what we perceive as knowledge or insight is often deceptive or misguided. Our experiences may give us a false sense of understanding, causing us to believe we possess wisdom when, in reality, it is built on uncertain or illusory foundations. Thus, the quote encourages us to critically evaluate the sources of our knowledge and question the reliability of our experiences.

Evening passed, night came on. And the feeling of suspense and softening of the heart before the unfathomable did not wane, but grew more intense. No one slept.
