1. The opening of doors is a mystic act: it has in it some flavor of the unknown, some sense
of moving into a new moment, a new pattern of the human rigmarole
*
. It includes the highest
glimpses of mortal gladness: reunions, reconciliation’s, the bliss of lovers long parted. Even in
sadness, the opening of a door may bring relief: it changes and redistributes human forces. But the
closing of door is far more terrible. It is a confession of finality. Every door closed brings
something to an end. And there are degrees of sadness in the closing of doors. Adoor slammed is a
confession of weakness. A door gently shut is often the most tragic gesture in life. Every one
knows the seizure of anguish that comes after the closing of a door, when the loved one is still
near, within sound of voice, and yet already far away.
*
Rigmarole: an elaborate or complicated procedure
2. If language were simply a nomenclature for a set of universal concepts, it would be easy to
translate from one language to another. One would simply replace the French name for a concept
with the English name. If language were like this the task of learning a new language would also
be much easier than it is. But anyone who has attempted either of these tasks has acquired, alas, a
vast amount of direct proof that languages are not nomenclatures, that the concepts… of one
language differ radically from those of another… Each language articulates or organizes the world
differently. Languages do not simply name existing categories, they articulate their own.
