If you can't say just what you mean, in words and
all other efforts at precise meaning, then sing it.
If you can't bawl it, yell it; if you can't yell it,
howl it; if you can't howl it, scream it; if you
can't scream it, try whispering it; if that does not
do, then whine and sob it.

Winston roused himself a little from his lethargy.
He must speak to Ampleforth, and risk the yell from
the telescreen. It was even conceivable that
Ampleforth was the bearer of the razor blade.
"Ampleforth," he said. There was no yell from the
telescreen. Ampleforth paused, mildly startled.
His eyes focused themselves slowly on Winston.
"Ah, Smith!" he said. "You, too!"
"What are you in for?"
"To tell you the truth--" He sat down awkwardly on
the bench opposite Winston. "There is only one
offense, is there not?" he said.
"And have you committed it?"
"Apparently I have."
He put a hand to his forehead and pressed his temples
for a moment, as though trying to remember something.
"These things happen," he began vaguely. "I have
been able to recall one instance--a possible
instance. It was an indiscretion, undoubtedly. We
were producing a definitive edition of the poems of
Kipling. I allowed the word 'God' to remain at the
end of a line. I could not help it!" he added almost
indignantly, raising his face to look at Winston.
"It was impossible to change the line. The rhyme
was 'rod.' Do you realize that there are only
twelve rhymes to 'rod' in the entire language? For
days I had racked my brains. There was no other
rhyme."
The expression on his face changed. The annoyance
passed out of it and for a moment he looked almost
pleased. A sort of intellectual warmth, the joy of
the pendant who has found out some useless fact,
shone through the dirt and scrubby hair.
"Has it ever occurred to you," he said, "that the
whole history of English poetry has been determined
by the fact that the English language lacks rhymes?"
No, that particular thought had never occurred to
Winston. Nor, in the circumstances, did it strike
him as very important or interesting.

whether as part of the rhyme, or the many more places He was mentioned before the rhyme.
A Rose, in tatters on the garden path,
Cried out to God and murmured 'gainst His Wrath,
Because a sudden wind at twilight's hush
Had snapped her stem alone of all the bush.
And God, Who hears both sun-dried dust and sun,
Had pity, whispering to that luckless one,
"Sister, in that thou sayest We did not well —
What voices heardst thou when thy petals fell?"
And the Rose answered, "In that evil hour
A voice said, `Father, wherefore falls the flower?
For lo, the very gossamers are still.'
And a voice answered, `Son, by Allah's will!'"
Then softly as a rain-mist on the sward,
Came to the Rose the Answer of the Lord:
"Sister, before We smote the Dark in twain,
Ere yet the stars saw one another plain,
Time, Tide, and Space, We bound unto the task
That thou shouldst fall, and such an one should ask."
Whereat the withered flower, all content,
Died as they die whose days are innocent;
While he who questioned why the flower fell
Caught hold of God and saved his soul from Hell.

This is a very interesting quote, about not thinking in words.
Temple Grandin, a noted author who is autistic, says
that she doesn't think in words. Instead, she thinks in
pictures. She states that this is true of autistic people.
"I THINK IN PICTURES. Words are like a second language to me. I
translate both spoken and written words into full-color movies, complete
with sound, which run like a VCR tape in my head. When somebody speaks
to me, his words are instantly translated into pictures. Language-based
thinkers often find this phenomenon difficult to understand, but in my
job as an equipment designer for the livestock industry, visual thinking
is a tremendous advantage."
-Temple Grandin
http://www.grandin.com/inc/visual.thinking.html
“Children who are visual thinkers will often be good at drawing, other
arts, and building things with building toys such as Legos.”
-Temple Grandin, _Thinking In Pictures, My Life With Autism)
Tesla, an extremely productive technological innovator (fluorescent
lights, the A.C. generator, the "Tesla" coil), apparently had incredible
visualization powers. As described by J. J. O'Neill in _Prodigal
Genius: The Life of Nikola Tesla_, it was claimed that Tesla "could
project before his eyes a picture complete in every detail, of every
part of the machine. These pictures were more vivid than any blueprint."

situations. For instance, visual imagery is extremely
common in dreams. It is also common if someone asks
us a question about the appearance of a person or a

times when you would not obviously expect its use.
In _The Act of Creation_ Koestler quotes Friedrich
Kekule, the famous chemist who discovered the
structure of the benzene ring in a dream after
having devoted a great deal of conscious thought to
its enigmatic structure. Kekule describes the
discovery.
"I turned my chair to the fire and dozed.
Again the atoms were gamboling before my eyes.
This time the smaller groups kept modestly in
the background. My mental eye, rendered more
acute by repeated visions of this kind, could
now distinguish larger structures, of manifold
conformation; long rows, sometimes more closely
fitted together; all twining and twisting in
snakelike motion. But look! What was that?
One of the snakes had seized hold of its own
tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my
eyes. As if by a flash of lightning, I awoke."
The result of the dream was Kekule's brilliant insight
that organic compounds such as benzene were closed
rings rather than open structures.
