She seems like an interesting woman who led a full life though her writing style is not quite my cup of tea. Doing a bit of research I see William James was one of her teachers and mentors. He encouraged her writings though apparently they were never quite on the same page, so to speak. Thank you for the reference.
I would say words always have meaning, otherwise they're gibberish. Now, whether or not they convey the intended meaning is questionable if taken out of context. Also, I think the MOQ would say we are continually defining not only words but all static patterns that arise from experience. You may want to define 'writing.' I for one am not particularly captivated by the German language though I do from time to time use Google Translator to discover what someone is trying to say to me.
