I think there's a big difference between the statement by Bryan and
that by Page, and I think Bryan's is more correct.  It's not that
something can't be SAID, it's just that nothing can be adequately
definitive.  We are left with approximations, metaphors, symbolisms,
all of which have aspects of the thing which is unspeakable, but which
are important and need to be said.
