Summary

This quote suggests that true creativity, like a love affair, cannot be captured or restrained by taking notes. It emphasizes the importance of spontaneity and raw emotion in both poetry and love. A poet's inspiration and imagination flow freely, and attempting to document or analyze it in the moment may limit its essence. Similarly, in a love affair, one must fully immerse oneself in the experience without any reservations or preconceived notions, allowing the emotions to guide the way. Both creativity and love require an unreserved surrender to the present moment and the feelings it evokes.

I climbed up the side of the cab and opened the door.The guy said, I don't have much room up here, why don't you getinto one of the cars out back. So I did.
