The most boring part of composing is when you finally understand what the object is that you’re working on, and you know what the boundaries are, you know where it’s beginning and where it’s ending, and then you’re down to the drudgery of cleaning it up.

Thought:

“Lately our poets loiter’d in green lanes,
Content to catch the ballads of the plains;
I fancied I had strength to climb
A loftier station at no distant time,
And might securely from intrusion doze
Upon the flowers thro’ which Ilissus flows.
In those pale olive grounds all voices cease,
And from afar dust fills the paths of Greece.
My slumber broken and my doublet torn,
I find the laurel also bears thorn.”

Walter Savage Landor
