chapter 4 on Wonder allowed for interesting parallels to be drawn to translation,"a scientific theory[...]does not have to be repeated twice a day.[...]since there is a need for daily wonder, there is a need for daily worship." compared to translator's notes in poetry translations that repeat in ever new metaphors the old conceptions of translation rather than centering theory, not to explain but to keep wonder alive

finished section 1.the words with which gd is described made methink,as none of them quite worked,but so Heschel said himself,words are always inadequate. My note from this chapter is that talking about gd is like shooting a burning arrow into the night,hoping that those following it will derive meaning from where it lands not from the spec of fire but bc they have seen the scenery by day before in another season.
