ekphora:

“It can never be satisfied, the mind, never.” Wallace Stevens wrote that, and in the long run he was right. The mind wants to live forever, or to learn a very good reason why not. The mind wants the world to return its love, or its awareness; the mind wants to know all the world, and all eternity, even God.
–Annie Dillard, from “Total Eclipse” in The Abundance: Narrative Essays Old and New
