Well, this one of the cases in which the language is a cage...I will just give up.
But I want to recall a short (?) story by Borges, called - I know it just in Italian, La biblioteca di Babele - something like Babel library...
More or less, the idea is that , if you give a bound to the size of a book- and fixed the alphabet - you can imagine a library in which there are all the possible books -even meaningless, since there is a finite -even if hugely huge - number of such possible books.
Ciao
