For all the fancy things you can do with words, the one thing you can't do is speak more than one word at once. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it; and in writing (such is my present belief) one has to recapture this, and set this working (which has nothing apparently to do with words) and then, as it breaks and tumbles in the mind, it makes words to fit it. Intentionally or not, we ignore the majority of nodes (objects) and relationships that exist in reality; by streaming our words one after the other, we also lose information about the distance between those nodes, and how strongly they interact; we omit inner links based on subjective judgement; we gloss over the three- (or many-) dimensional structure of the thing we describe.
