Summary

This quote suggests that being involved in political activities can hinder one's ability to engage in literary creation. It implies that the mindsets, objectives, and demands of the political arena may not align well with the imaginative and creative processes required in literary pursuits. Engaging in politics often involves practical and strategic thinking, while literary creation demands an openness to explore various ideas and perspectives that may not fit within the confines of political ideologies. Therefore, it implies that the two endeavors may not be easily reconciled, potentially leading to a conflict in priorities and creativity.
