The author reflects on the Word of God, which is described as the ultimate word after which nothing can be said anymore. The author quotes musicians to express the power and elusiveness of this Word. One of them, the pianist Arthur Schnable, is quoted as saying he only plays music that is better than one can play it, which to the author suggests the expression will always be behind the meaning. The author speaks of God's becoming man, not scripture or human talk. He speaks of God's being alive, singing with his faithful.
