Many things can't be said in language, magnificent as it is, especially when the writer knows his words, grammar and syntax. Now if you put a billiard that you adore next to one that you esteem, you likely can find things with the esteemed that you couldn't find looking at it alone. And it would seem that this comparison's findings could be described by language.
You could say that the adored pipe was perfect. I beheld one such pipe, an Eltang billiard, on sp a few years ago, and I was transfixed by both the pipe and its price. I forgot about it, and it rotated off sale, at which point I felt I had to know the price, which customer service gave to me. I can't judge value without it.
Anyway I can't put into words why that pipe captivated me. It was just goddam perfect, and I knew it when I saw it.
