1. When concepts fail, words arise Faust, Goethe Mephistopheles. …Enter the templed hall of Certainty. Student. Yet in each word some concept there must be. Mephistopheles. Quite true! But don't torment yourself too anxiously; For at the point where concepts fail, At the right time a word is thrust in there…
