“Very few of us understand
Honorable Bird, except to acknowledge that without his power and grace nothing
would be written, painted, or composed at all. To say anything beyond this
about the creative process is like pulling all the petals off a flower in order
to analyze it, and ending up having destroyed the flower.”
-- Madeleine L'Engle (A Circle of Quiet)
