The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay: Maskull listened entranced, yet agitated. The song, if it might be
termed song, seemed to be always just on the point of becoming clear
and intelligible - not with the intelligibility of words, but in the
way one sympathises with another's moods and feelings; and Maskull
felt that something important was about to be uttered, which would
explain all that had gone before. But it was invariably postponed,
he never understood - and yet somehow he did understand.
Late in the afternoon they came to a clearing, and there Panawe
ceased his recitative. He slowed his pace and stopped, in the
fashion of a man who wishes to convey that he intends to go no
farther.
