“Just as we build a house or a cathedral with the same kind of stone, so we may use the same common and homely metaphors and images to convey truths on widely separated planes of discourse. ...And the highest is often best conveyed in terms of the lowest...

E.W.F. Tomlin on Simone Weil's use of language.”
― E.W.F. Tomlin
