said that he's empty, nor said that he's full.
... SO UNFATHOMABLE, BEYOND THE SENSES.
It's so unfathomable. No word of ours can measure him. Our words are like tiny teaspoons, he is like the ocean! In these teaspoons, an ocean cannot be contained, nor can it be measured.

Up till now the moon was unknown, but now it is known. We did not know the mysteries of the atom, but now we know.
