The correct answer is: Text is better able to express a person's specific thoughts.
In 1889 Vincent Van Gogh painted "The Starry Night" which depicts an impressionistic scene of a night sky in the countryside. The poet Anne Sexton wrote the poem "The Starry Night", although she describes the same scene Van Gogh painted, she specifically relates this dark starry night to her desire to die on a night like this one. Van Gogh's image depicts certain darkness but it could also be seen as peaceful, a clear night with stars, it doesn't necessarily relate to death or the desire of death.
Anne Sexton's poem specifically links the image to death and turmoil, her desire to be sucked by the "rushing beast of the night" links the image more specifically to death:
"Oh starry starry night! This is how I want to die:
into that rushing beast of the night,
sucked up by that great dragon, to split
from my life with no flag,
no belly,
no cry."
