The Supersensible (n.) within ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠us is the unique key to the enigma of taste — a key itself hidden from us in its sources.

The Supersensible (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the hidden common root where mechanism and purpose might agree — of which we can form not the slightest positive concept.

Supersensible (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an immeasurable space filled, for us, with thick night, crossed only by the light of reason's own need.

The Supersensible (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an unbounded but inaccessible field, in which we search in vain for a single plot of territory to know.
