If genius is profuse, never ending – stuck in the middle of a work is – the wrong track, Genius is the track seen. Once seen it is impossible to keep from it. The superficial definitions, such as “genius is industry, genius is hard work, etc. ” are nonsense. It is to see the track, to smell it out, to know it inevitable-sense sticking out all round feeling, feeling, seeing-hearing touching. the rest is pure gravity. (The earth pull.)
William Carlos Williams
