Yet, such sensuous thinking is translated into thought which come to be
represented as language, state of mind or behavior -- if this were not true
aesthetics would not be such a contested territory. Language one must
remember extends beyond the spoken and written. Behavior, like tone of
voice  is a  language -- for it something we use to  communicate and is
subject to interpretation by others and as such is learned, that is
cultural determined in form and content.
