…to write a work of genius is almost always a feat of
prodigious difficulty. Everything is against the likelihood that it will
come from the writer’s mind whole and entire. Generally material circumstances
are against it. Dogs will bark; people will interrupt; money must be made;
health will break down. Further, accentuating all these difficulties and
making them harder to bear is the world’s notorious indifference. It does
not ask people to write poems and novels and histories; it does not need
them.
