Chan's book, Before a Blue Sky Moon, reveals a poet who specializes in evoking the ungraspable. |
Unmoving, but in her immobility lay a new freedom, one that was fundamental but unfathomable, simple but unknowable, pure but ungraspable. |
His grays and grayed greens and blues recall the ungraspable nuances of Velázquez and, at times, the simmering ardors of Caspar David Friedrich. |
The past, even if recorded, is ungraspable, irreconcilable, and as such, forever undead. |
Within this ungraspable setting are separate parts as inconsistent as dream sequences. |
The subtle, ungraspable, undefinable but so vital and crucially important factors are more similar to energy than to matter, hence the name life-energy, life force. |
