Ravissement de Psyche by W.A. Bougereau, 19th century. Lightly men talk of saying what they mean. [...] I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word [saying what we mean] can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean ? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces ?
in Till we have faces by C. S. Lewis
