Summary

This quote suggests that reason is not a primary source of creativity but rather a force that brings harmony and control to the creative process. While creativity may arise from intuition, imagination, and inspiration, reason plays a role in refining and shaping those ideas, ensuring coherence and logical structure. It suggests that reason acts as a check and balance, bringing order and balance to the creative expressions, but it is not the ultimate driving force behind the generation of new ideas and originality.
