“You can’t go on ‘seeing through’ things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. It is good that the window should be transparent, because the street or garden beyond it is opaque. How if you saw through the garden to? It is no use trying to ‘see through’ first principles. If you see through everything, and everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To ‘see through’ all things is the same as not to see.”
