This line from a poem concerns being and being written or heard about.  If it isn’t written (and presumably, read) or told (and presumably, heard), it cannot fully be. I don’t believe I fully agree but it’s something to think about.

‘… what

is neither written by hand nor heard by ear

is never wholly so.’
