"I can speak"

"Words can't really express one's emotions. They are too inert."

"Life is a dream. 'Tis the waking that kills us."
--Virginia Woolf

Gesamtkunstwerk (German): "synthesis of the arts"; refers to the fusion of all the arts into one work: music, poetry, film, scenic beauty, all of the senses appealed to in unison and harmony.

Fire and water; wind and earth-- the four primal elements: nature (of the world, of a country, a person, a psyche).

I've already said too much; my words are inert.
