Da Vinci, 1492.
"I counsel you to not cumber yourself with words unless you are speaking to the blind. If however notwithstanding you wish to demonstrate in words to the ears rather then to the eyes of men, let your speech be of things of substance or natural things, and do not busy yourself in making enter in the ears things that have to do with the eyes, for in this you will be far surpassed by the work of the painter."
