Awekho amanye amapharadesi kunalawo alahlekile, njengoba uJohn Milton ayengasho. Noma izinto ezibaluleke ngaphezu kwalezo ongasenazo, futhi awukwazi ukuzibona. Izimangaliso zeqiniso zomhlaba-ke ziningi lezo esigcina sizilahlekele noma sizibhubhise kunalezo ezizosungulwa namuhla, zengeze okudingekayo "kwezwe lanamuhla."

Kuhle njalo ukwenza uhlu lwabalahlekile. Njengalokhu uJudith Schalansky enze ngenhloso yobuciko yokwandisa inganekwane futhi wengeze kulelo nani elisemthethweni lika-7, eminye imisebenzi emincane kodwa ebaluleke kakhulu lapho izinga lefa lakhe phakathi kwezibani nezithunzi ekugcineni libonakala ...
Umlando wesintu ugcwele izinto ezilahlekile, eziyekelwe ukukhohlwa ngezinye izikhathi, noma ezibhujiswe umuntu noma ukuguguleka kwezinsuku.

Umsebenzi ohehayo futhi ongehlukaniseki osinika ithuba lokuzindla ngencazelo yokulahlekelwa kanye nendima yenkumbulo ngokuveza amagugu ayishumi nambili umhlaba owalahleka unomphela, kodwa okuthi, ngenxa yomkhondo abawushiye ngemuva yebo, emlandweni, izincwadi kanye nemicabango, banempilo yesibili.
