Scholars

I recently heard the term, "scholar", the way I used to hear it.  When the speaker is at his wits end, the speaker makes reference to these sages.  The speaker, in dramatic fashion, gives off the air that he has only seen a glimpse, only a taste of the work produced by these sages.  The taste is so pure and the work so profound that the speaker can only gush over the magnitude of what it is. The truths are indeed true.  The sages have indeed held their ground.   The speaker stands wide eyed and proclaims that the long-held truth has been verified, complete and utterly worked out to the nth degree by these other-worldly wizards.
