““If we don't have pictures in our minds when we read, then it is the interaction of ideas - the intermingling of abstract relationships - that catalyzes feeling in us readers. This sounds like a fairly unenjoyable experience, but, in truth, this is also what happens when we listen to music. This relational, nonrepresentational calculus is where some of the deepest beauty in art is found. Not in mental pictures of things, but in the play of elements.””
