Understanding this quote
The speaker says that words, whether written with a pen or spoken onstage, cannot fully convey their gratitude. Their heart, however, is visible in their face, suggesting that their expression shows what their language cannot completely say. The comparison presents feeling as more plainly revealed by appearance than by crafted speech.
