In regard to "And another day" do you really think that music is "the writer's greatest foe"? If so, I wonder if you might be willing to elaborate. Personally, I don't think so. I can understand that for certain types of writing, this could possibly be so, but the music of words is part of what drives poetry. In addition, music springs from the human voice; it's our first available connection to music and present in every syllable in every language. That many people are ignorant of this is no fault of voice or music, but rather the utility and ubiquity of language in the human experience.
When I sit down to write but can't quite get the meaning to arise, it (the hard to express in words) is my biggest foe; but, if -- usually -- I do end up getting it right, it's more fulfilling. I'm talking abstract -- not music specifically. Music is something that, sometimes, you can't just write about. You really just need to listen to it. I'm talking about conveying the ineffable, like music, in written form. Thanks for the reply!
