Transcending language

Andrew Sullivan quotes Christian Wiman:

I don't think you can spend your whole life questioning whether language can represent reality. At some point, you have to believe that the inadequacies of words you use will be transcended by the faith with which you use them. You have to believe that poetry has some reach into reality itself, or you have to go silent.
I think there is wisdom here for more than poets.
