The fine delight that fathers thought; the strong
Spur, live and lancing like the blowpipe flame,
Breathes once and, quenchèd faster than it came,
Leaves yet the mind a mother of immortal song.
Nine months she then, nay years, nine years she long
Within her wears, bears, cares and moulds the same:
The widow of an insight lost she lives, with aim
Now known and hand at work now never wrong.
Sweet fire the sire of muse, my soul needs this;
I want the one rapture of an inspiration.
O then if in my lagging lines you miss
The roll, the rise, the carol, the creation,
My winter world, that scarcely breathes that bliss
Now, yields you, with some sighs, our explanation.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins, To R.B.

Back to Gotham I go!

A quotation from Douglas Adams
People assume you sit in a room, looking pensive and writing great thoughts. But you mostly sit in a room looking panic-stricken and hoping they haven’t put a guard on the door yet.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
Interview (2001-04-05) by Brendan Buhler, “Man of the Galaxy,” Daily Nexus, University of California, Santa Barbara

"Walking in Memphis" is a song written and originally recorded by American singer-songwriter #MarcCohn and released as a single in 1991. The song's lyrics are autobiographical. They chronicle a trip that Cohn, then a struggling songwriter and singer, took to #Memphis to overcome a bout of #writersBlock. After visiting the church where former soul singer #AlGreen was preaching, #ElvisPresley's former home of #Graceland, and a small nightclub in nearby #Mississippi.

Been doing "not awful" with daily timed freewriting; need to somehow implement that into lyric writing and ESPECIALLY music composition bc after the last time I sat down at the piano I pushed too hard and got myself stuck and now I'm resisting doing more because I feel blocked…

Regarding overcoming my #writersblock and my post from about a day ago–I translated the whole article to English:
"Nepal: one more country eliminates Rubella"
https://www.laikaundfreunde.de/en/2025/09/19/nepal-one-more-country-eliminates-rubella/
Working on against my writer's block, I managed to publish a blog post on Nepal's elimination of Rubella. Triggered by WHO report:
