Scottie, this isn't by any means a cranky reply (at least, not
intentionally), but I'd have to argue that images have at least equal
importance.  I learned more about desolation, as a child, studying Van Gogh
at the museum (and continue to do so, the way I reread certain books) than
I did reading Dickens  or, later, the Brontes.  I myself (considering that
I don't have enough visual talent to draw a circle) am as infinitely
grateful for the worlds created by visual artists as I am for the worlds
writers have given us.
