LAZINESS

I am confident it is often sheer laziness when a poet refrains from writing because he is not ‘in the mood’. Until he begins he can hardly know whether he is in the mood or not. It is reluctance to the manual labor of recording one’s thoughts; perhaps to the mental labor of setting them in order.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
