Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. |

Everything is gestation and then bringing forth. TO let each impression and each germ of a feeling come to completion quite in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own understanding, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life-- in understanding as in work. |

If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator is no poverty and no poor indifferent place. And even if you were in some prison the walls of which let none of the sounds of the world come to your senses-- would you not then still have your childhood, that precious, kingly possession, that treasure-house of memories?
