> I was always conscious of sounds in nature which my ears could never hear,— that I caught but the prelude to a strain. She always retreats as I advance. Away behind and behind is she and her meaning. Will not this faith and expectation make to itself ears at length? I never saw to the end, nor heard to the end; but the best part was unseen and unheard.
— Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
> Language: Any interactive communicationally-oriented phonic-graphic-gestural patterning system for the purpose of manipulating situational, semantic, structural, discoursal, and pragmatic variables so as to facilitate or disfacilitate comprehension.
— Quatsch and Kauderwelsch (1985)
