Language is giver: to man in advance, but the miracle is that he is nevertheless free in relation to it and able to speak as he wills. This unity of activity and passivity, of freedom and compulsion in language, belongs to a sphere above the human level. This unity of Opposites is in itself a proof of the divine origin of language.
