Here it is.
I dug around and found this somewhat contrary view that says that visualisation can be used to impede the interpretation of text - not enhance it. I thought is was quite a novel position to take. The author uses the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty" to show that the ingrained collective vision of Humpty is that of an egg when there is no specific mention of an egg at all in the rhyme. Some say its about a cannon used in the defense of Colchester in 1648 during the English Civil War. I drove past the wall last year on a visit to my cousin and he retold the tale of the hapless ordnance which fell off the wall and couldn't be put back by the Royalists (King's men).
