Summary/Abstract: The article discusses a certain type of double impossibility of metaphysical form in the following sense: the impossibility of the form to proceed in a predictable way in terms of self-implementation and implementation towards live experience. The conceptually prominent virtualistic metaphor – the form „to unlock its own use“, holds in a positive way the extensional impossibility of language. In addition, the „unlocking“, as metaphorically connected with the concept of „pure form“, releases potentialities of words and images in such a way that the inconceivability of the pure form evokes, as coparticipant, certain aesthetic ideas coming from the side of the image-schema and the relevant metaphorical imagery.
