Well said. But that was implicit in the statement in the word 'all', you see, which would obviously exclude oneself and not be quite 'all' in the legal sense, that is to say. That is literature as distinct from lacklustre law and therein lies the beauty afforded by literary license and the free flow of the word following from it.
Ideas are understood in essence and not in terms of crust value alone. Beauty transcends temporal norms and embraces the bounds of the horizon that ever shifts, leaving in its trail the articulate objects of civilisation from its unexpressed and inexpressible realm of the pure idea. Literature affords the unique union of the idea and the form, and one is to savour its fruition in sense and sensibility, in intuition and inspiration, and in the grasped and the guessed where colours combine and disperse in an array of beauteous form and figure, and lovelier lines as yet unformed into patterns that may meet the eye and enthral with the delight of the divine.
Between expression then and its elusive flight lies poetry and literature and art and music and all of those inexact studies of the soul that hold humanity in its best attention and therein lies the call of the unknown sounded to the known to usher it onward unto the destiny divine. There lies the union of the trinity -- truth, beauty, goodness, the earliest universal abstraction of life's ends that eventually converge onto the inexpressible essence of things.

Sugata Bose Subhas Chanda Read my essay above please to gain an insight into my mind about the point raised by Saumy Mishra. His point is pertinent, indeed, and and very well raised, too. I have merely elucidated some of the principles of literary expression and of civilisation in its expressed march unto the inexpressible.
