James Elkins’ list of words which, according to him, are strategies for not quite naming God, when used in art criticism.

The Numinous: Frightening, intimate, overwhelming presence of the sacred.

The Aura: Gleam of unique objects, before we were jaded by photographs and reproductions.

The Uncanny: The creeping feeling that something is ghostly, and yet deeply familiar.

The Abject: An object that has no proper place in the world because it is both a part of us and a waste product.

The Enigma: The incomprehensible aroma of a place.
