. . . .An allegory is a representation in words or in paint of something which has its own meaning but also stands for something other than itself. When an allegory stands for something other than itself, that which it stands for -- for those who really believe in allegories and who say that the only mode of profound speech is allegorical, as Schelling believed, as the romantics in general believed -- is ‘ex hypothesi’ not statable itself. That is why the allegory has to be used, and that is why allegories and symbols are of necessity the only mode which I have of conveying that which I wish to convey.
What is that I wish to convey? I wish to convey the stream of which Fichte speaks. I wish to convey something immaterial and I have to use material means for it. I have to convey something which is inexpressible and I have to use expression. I have to convey, perhaps, something unconscious and I have to use conscious means. I know in advance that I shall not succeed and cannot succeed, and therefore all I can do is to get nearer and nearer in some asymptotic approach; I do my best, and it is an agonising struggle in which, if I am an artist, or indeed for the German romantics any kind of self-conscious thinker, I am engaged for the whole of my life. ~ Page 102

Must congratulate you if you are able to read a COMPLETE book talking about
allegories ! (:o))
I read a lot ... but not the same kind of books. Too bad. It is interesting to exchange ideas about books...
Have a lovely time overthere.
