Concept/Comprehension
[ponyatie] is
from grasping [poyatie]; he
took [vzyal], assimilated
[usvoil], and comprehended
[ponyal]-- have the same root as the
word Begriff
from begreifen
-- to grasp [skhvatil]; and
notion from noter;
to consider [schyol], take
into account [uchyol]. Thus in
these abstractions of thought the sound of the word
for comprehension [ponyatie]
does not express the sum total of its shades of
meaning (assimilated, grasped, considered, took
into account, comprehended, took).

The depiction of a point,
of the moment, is always just sensory; the
depicted point is -- a model; the
unavoidabilities of depicting concepts with the aid
of a word are -- the tragedy of philosophy: our
means of cognition, the word, is -- inseparable
from the image.
