ESSAY A loose sally of the mind an irregular indigested pie

Summary

This quote underscores the concept of a "loose sally of the mind," which refers to a spontaneous and unstructured flow of thoughts.

By emphasizing the erratic nature of such writing, the quote emphasizes the importance of coherence and organization in conveying one's ideas effectively.
