Not all sensory perceptions have clarity; not all artistic expressions convey an apprehension of the real.
Delusions persist about the nature of reality long after formative memories are forgotten. Not all meaning is derived from material experience; abstract values are not scientifically measurable and quantifiable, but such things as honor and mercy exist, are perceived, understood, and comprise knowledge of life. As conveyed through the visual arts, for instance, or through writing and poetry, music, and dance, moral reason is elevated.
To seek and express the ineffable with probity and lucidity is both philosophical challenge and artistic obligation for those who envision the unity of all things.
