Annie asked:

How can you write in a purely "verbal," communicating medium by being "non-verbal." It just doesn't work.

Try this:

"O, most wicked speed, to post With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!"

If you say this aloud, you'll get a wonderful hissing sound, because of all the fricatives involved. I think that even someone who doesn't speak English would realize, upon hearing this, that Hamlet is angry.
