Genius Annotation, Cosigned By Ezra Furman Ezra is referencing the work of Jewish theologian Abraham Joshua Heschel here. โThe search of reason ends at the shore of the known; on the immense expanse beyond it only the sense of the ineffable can glideโ is the first line of โI Asked for Wonder,โ an anthology of Heschelโs work. In a 2019 Reddit AMA, Ezra recommended the anthology as the work that introduced her to Heschel, โone of the most influential thinkers in [her] life to this day.โ
The yellow highlighting in that screenshot is (I discover) how Genius shows annotations that have been endorsed by the artist herself:

Seeing Ezra Furman again last night brought back memories of seeing her a couple of years ago at the Union Chapel โ when she wore *the* Maraschino Red Dress ($8.99 from Goodwill), which sheโd recently rediscovered
