Vision is a spectator; hearing is a participator.

Publication is partial and the public which results is partially informed and formed until the meanings it purveys pass from mouth to mouth.

Ideas which are not communicated, shared, and reborn in expression are but soliloquy, and soliloquy is but broken and imperfect thought.
