Inspiration is a sudden memory of the future. It appears in full bloom. Bringing it into the world though. A compromise of a compromise. An approximation of an approximation.
The dream remains, but the fact is mercurial.
Ginsberg's "Howl" as he actually heard it. Van Gogh's Starry Night as he really saw it. James Baldwins sermons essays if he were free. Dunne's Holy Sonnet's before 2nd thoughts. The Iliad before the translations.
