Imagine the latent, transient beauty of things

This is an idea that is expressed in [[ Yūgen ]].

Evelyn Underhill speaks about something similar: “our uneasiness, the vagueness of our reactions to things, would be cured could we reach and unite with the fact, instead of our notions of it.”1 Again she asks, “Has it never happened to you to lose yourself for a moment in a swift and satisfying experience for which you found no name?”2 This kind of thing may open up a feeling of [[ Sehnsucht ]].
