In reference to his visual imagination, Aldous Huxley notes in the Doors of Perception (1954):

“I am and, for as long as I can remember, I have always been a poor visualizer.” 

“Words, even the pregnant words of poets, do not evoke pictures in my mind.” 

And the fact that Aldous could write so vividly and in turn invoke such vivid imagery in my mind, and yet he sees none of it blows my mind. Transmission of coherence 🧠..🧠
