Primum Lumen

Associamos a Luz ao Saber. (Dizemos até que Fulano tem umas luzes de Trigonometria).
Mas aqui o Autor associa a Luz ao Não-saber. Porque a Luz inicial, a primeira, indecisa e primacial, é aquela em que o Iluminado não o é, aquela em que ele não sabe se sabe.
Só à custa de muitos logros, transpostos de olhos bem abertos, o Iluminado que não é Iluminado apreende, a uma segunda Luz, que o não saber se sabe é afinal a culminância do Saber.
E assim regressa à Luz primeira, para se comprazer na beleza incomparável da sua incompletude.
Como lhe agradeceremos o fazer-nos participar dessa experiência?

We associate Light to Knowledge (to the point of saying that so-and-so has a some lights on Trigonometry).
Here, however, the author associates Light to Non-knowledge. Because in light - first light, undecided and primordial - the Enlightened is not so; in the very light under which he knows not whether he knows.
Only in the course of failures experienced with eyes wide open does the Enlightened one - who is not Enlightened – learn that - under a second Light - if non-knowledge knows, it is, after all, the summit of knowledge.
And thus he returns to primordial Light, to enjoy the incomparable beauty of incompleteness.
How to thank him for making us share this experience?
