Exactly, and so you left out what interests me most, links between
images and language. Writing began as drawing, and some letters
are still keeping a memory of the early drawings. Our A is still the
head of an ox (turn it uspide down), as in the Phoenician alphabet.
Hieroglyphs have been derived from pictures. Cave paintings
convey a message and are accompanied by logograms that
clarify the message of a picture. Paintings can be whole books,
Leonardo's Mona Lisa painting is a book on perception, and his
Last Supper a book on the question of the free or bound human
will. Hieroglyphs have not disappeared, they survive and thrive
in a worldy form as pictograms - look around in the city, in the main
station, pictograms everywhere, and many as mysterious as ancient
hieroglyphs ...
