Novel: Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad

Prompt: "I was within a hair's-breadth of the last opportunity for pronouncement, and I found with humiliation that probably I would have nothing to say. This is the reason why I affirm that Kurtz was a remarkable man. He had something to say. He said it....He had summed up -- he had judged. 'The horror!' He was a remarkable man. After all, this was the expression of some sort of belief; it had candour, it had conviction, it had a vibrating note of revolt in its whisper, it had the appalling face of a glimpsed truth -- the strange commingling of desire and hate."

 

Question: Look closely at Marlow's words here. What is he actually celebrating about Kurtz? His ability to form and use words or his ability to form and use words that convey the truth?
