A bit of a different topic here, but I'd like to respond anyway...

"The flaw with words is that they always force us to feel enlightened, but when we turn around to face the world they always fail us and we end up facing the world as we always have, without enlightenment. For this reason, a sorcerer seeks to act rather than to talk and to this effect he gets a new description of the world--a new description where talking is not that important, and where new acts have new reflections."
Reflections happen in language too. I agree with DJ on how words can get us to feel enlightened, that links to the third enemy of man - clarity. There is a 'new description' way where language changes. Becomes more metaphoric and poetic. DJ loved poetry
. (And a lot of the longing feeling is expressed through poetic language/art)
