This has got to be a paraphrase of dialog from the movie "Semi-Tough".

Like a cipher, the book has a secret. But, unlike a cipher, the secret can't be told. Telling it ruins it. But it is not like "giving away" a mystery by telling the outcome. The case is more difficult.

Kris Kristofferson claimed he got "it" but he was deluded. Jill Clayburgh said she got "it" but she was faking it. As I recall, only Bert Renalds got "it".

Interesting piece, thanks. Rachel, who was not born of women, precisely, is a totally innocent person. For the rest, the "thrill" is not in what is paraphraseable, but in the actual writing. It is a very poetic work.....
