Indeterminacy X7

Anyway, he was
explaining one day the meaning
of a Chinese character —
Yu,
I believe it was
— spending
the whole time explaining
it and yet its
meaning
as close as he could get to
it in English
was
“unexplainable.”

Finally he laughed
and then said,
“Isn’t it strange that
having
come all the way from Japan
I
spend my time
explaining to you
that
which is not to be explained?”
