But writing also does more than speech. It communicates through
different senses, colour, shape, heft, texture. It also has a different relationship
to time. Its substrates can last for a long period, often way
beyond the lifetime of the author. It can physically travel through great
distances, it can be constructed collaboratively, its length can ‘go on’
for far longer than someone can talk without pause. It can be revisited.
Writing can also be integrated with illustrations. It can arrange things
visually, in tabular and radial and nested forms that are difficult to do
in spoken language (think of Eusebius’s books); there is no aural equivalent
to the index and contents page.
