Inspiration is necessarily a lateral process; it happens only when you are focussed on something else. It is the movement caught out of the corner of your eye, the sound on the edge of your hearing, the flicker of shadow on a sunny day. Genius is the ability to catch those glimmers as they drift by. But gently, or they will flee our grasp like dust in a sunbeam.
