Summary

This quote by Isaac Bashevis Singer acknowledges the struggle faced by all creators in trying to manifest their inner vision through their chosen medium. It suggests that there is a gap or "chasm" between what an artist envisions in their mind and what they are able to convey in their work. Singer notes that this gap is never fully overcome, and creators often feel that their output falls short of fully expressing the abundance of ideas they have within them. Ultimately, it highlights the intrinsic drive to create and the persistent desire to communicate more than can ever be fully realized.
