At any rate it is important
to imagine a language
in which our concept
‘knowledge’ does not exist.
Ludwig Wittgenstein:
‘On Certainty’
We inhabit aspects suffused with language.
Our sensual encounters with the world
are inevitably interpenetrated by the
streams of words that flow around
our minds and through our mouths.
We see someone and they become the
evaluative judgements that pop into our
heads about them; we walk down the
street and flip out into unreal worlds
constituted by imaginings and internal
dialogues. Languages are a second world
superimposed on and intertwined with the
physical and emotional worlds. Words are
traced in the sky, trapped beneath stones
and smeared across the faces of the people
we love. A storybook world in which the
word is flesh and dwells amongst us.
Unreal city,
Under the brown fog
of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over
London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death
had undone so many.
T.S. Eliot, ‘The Waste Land’
