Summary

This quote suggests that our perception of reality is influenced by the countless images we are exposed to. It implies that we have become so immersed in symbolic representations that they shape our understanding of the world. In questioning if sign language is the true language of paradise, it hints at the idea that perhaps a pure, unmediated form of communication without the need for symbols or images would be the most authentic and ideal means of expression.
