There are, it seems, two muses: the Muse of
Inspiration, who gives us inarticulate visions and desires, and the Muse of Realization, who
returns again and again to say "It is yet more difficult than you thought." This is
the muse of form. It may be then that form
serves us best when it works as an obstruction, to
baffle us and deflect our intended course. It may be that when we no longer know what to
do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have
begun our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The
impeded stream is the one that sings.
