and this springs from the nature itself of language, which is
a more direct representation of the actions and passions of
our internal being, and is susceptible of more various and
delicate combinations, than colour, form, or motion, and is
more plastic and obedient to the control of that faculty of
which it is the creation. for language is arbitrarily produced
by the imagination and has relation to thoughts alone, but
all other materials, instruments and conditions of art, have
relations among each other, which limit and interpose
between conception and expression.
