Summary

This quote is a humorous way of depicting the long and exhausting nature of being on the campaign trail. It suggests that the individual has been immersed in their political activities for such a prolonged period that it has had adverse effects on their personal life. The comparison of the aging process of wine turning into vinegar conveys the sentiment that the speaker feels worn out and drained from their continuous engagement in campaigning, implying a need for a break or some form of respite.

Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.
