God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.

The image of God as an “unutterable sigh” frames divinity less as a doctrinal proposition than as an inexpressible inward longing. A sigh is wordless, involuntary, and intimate; it signals desire, grief, awe, or yearning that exceeds language. By saying it is “planted in the depths of the soul,” the line suggests that the impulse toward God is innate—an interior seed or pressure that persists even when the intellect cannot articulate or prove anything. The thought aligns with a Romantic-era emphasis on feeling, inwardness, and the limits of rational speech about ultimate realities: God is encountered as a profound affective need rather than a neatly stated concept.
