Summary

This quote means that our words can never fully capture or convey the richness, depth, and complexity of our thoughts and ideas. It suggests that what we say is merely a small fragment or residue of what goes on internally in our minds. Despite our attempts to articulate our thoughts, our words can never fully encapsulate the full extent of our mental experiences. Just like crumbs, they are small and limited compared to the abundant feast that exists within our minds.

It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in suchan inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, theirabsolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lackof style. They affect us just as vulgarity affects us. They give usan impression of sheer brute force, and we revolt against that.Sometimes, however, a tragedy that possesses artistic elements ofbeauty crosses our lives. If these elements of beauty are real, thewhole thing simply appeals to our sense of dramatic effect. Suddenlywe find that we are no longer the actors, but the spectators of theplay. Or rather we are both. We watch ourselves, and the mere wonderof the spectacle enthralls us.
