Metaphors are translucent veils, that permit the things they disguise to be seen, or fancy dresses, under which the person, who is masked, is perceivable. Étienne Bonnot de Condillac (1715-1780)
Oh this veil, this veil this wonderful veil, hiding and showing at once. This slight breath, this almost nothing!!
* cf Barnett Newman and American/Canadian informal, colloquial: nothing, zero
