“A recurring urge that gives birth to much of human culture is the urge to make the intangible tangible. We make something so that it gives us a handle on something else. For instance, a song might be written so that love can be given from one person to another through singing. Or, some experience fills us with a feeling of reverence, and so we paint a picture in order that the intangible quality of reverence can be communicated and thus shared. Making the unseen seeable and the untouched tangible has prompted so many poems, statues, symphonies and other creations that it has seemed to many as though that task is at the root of man’s reason for existence.”
