What is Art?

That which can not be communicated by plain speech, I would consider a great deal of literature art.

Indeed. I would also. Poetry and lyrics, as well. Emotions can be expressed through multiple mediums.. Sometimes, if not most times, talking is just making noise and using hollow words.. to really say something, one must have something to say..

Fools speak because they have to say something, the wise speak because they have something to say. I think conversation can be beautiful & intimate, more than art often can, but so rarely. Though art is always intimate, a conversation initiated by the artist, though never reciprocated.

You speak quite eloquently :)

I may write with some eloquence, but I seldom speak with any.

Same here!! haha ^ .^
