Let me see if I understand you... For me, most thought that isn't
verbal is visual.   But perhaps this visual thought is to sight
as verbal thought is to hearing, and there's a purer, more
ideal form of thought that's prior to both visual and verbal
thought -- or a pure underlying form of thought of which visual
and verbal thought are surface epiphenomena?
