An entry for which there are no words? Shouldn't it be blank? This entry is a call to greater articulation. Poe wrote "I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words with even more distinctness than that which I conceived it..." Tales Of Mystery and Imagination by Alan Parson's Project.
To say, "There are no words," is either to draw back from the horror of fresh injury or to simply refuse to exert the effort, depending on your vantage point in space and time.
For those for whom "there are no words..."
"You cannot imagine;" your imagination is too lazy.
"You cannot understand;" put it into words, I will attend.
"You have no idea;" globalism is based on shared ideas. Share your idea.
"You don't know;" is that such a good thing? Teach me!
There are no words? Will you attempt to write them now, or grope for them years from now when they are lost in the sands of time?
There are no words... my words are too harsh for your innocence, too rough for your tender sensibilities, too weathered for your sheltered reality.
If there truly "are no words," then I am sorry, because you are lonely for a confidant who can share them with you. I have been lonely too; I grieve your loss. I too once said, "there are no words!"
