You must appreciate the setting
In order to understand what is said-
An island, Greek of course, Patmos
And John saying “I saw the word in god”
Do you see it now?
The issue and the issues raised
And already you are wondering how to answer them-
The abstract and the manifest
The spoken and unsaid
You might consider this more Greek than Hebrew
In essence however the issue transcends all corporal borders
It is a man and his vision
And something so startling
That the simple words do not try to hide it
* * *
Cf. by Martin Burke : Reading Meister Eckhart II - This Singing Ground
