Sometimes a sentence can be understood only if read at the right tempo. My sentences are all supposed to be read slowly.

Compare to S Dresner's comment in the intro. to "I Asked For Wonder":

Heschel's writing is an embarrassment of riches. So compelling are his sentences that a paragraph literally chokes from wealth. One reader, overwhelmed by this plenty, suggested studying Heschel like a page of the Talmud, that is, weighing with care each sentence, each phrase, each word.
