There in seclusion and remote from men the wizard hand lies cold, which at its topmost speed let fall the pen, and left the tale half told. ah! who shall lift that wand of magic power, and the lost clew regain? the unfinished window in aladdin's tower unfinished must remain!

More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Let me offer you, metaphorically, two magic wands that have sweeping powers to change society. with one wand you could wipe out all racism and discrimination from the hearts and minds of white america. the other wand you could wave across the ghettoes and barrios of america and infuse the inhabitants with japanese or jewish values, respect for learning, and ambition. ... i suggest that the best wand for society and for those who live in the ghettoes and barrios would be the second wand.
Ghetto Heart Ambition
I remember every wand i’ve ever sold, mr. potter. every single wand. it so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather — just one other. it is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother — why, its brother gave you that scar.

First, consider the pen you write with. it should be a fast-writing pen because your thoughts are always much faster than your hand. you don't want to slow up your hand even more with a slow pen. a ballpoint, a pencil, a felt tip, for sure, are slow. go to a stationery store and see what feels good to you. try out different kinds. don't get too fancy and expensive. i mostly use a cheap sheaffer fountain pen, about $1.95.... you want to be able to feel the connection and texture of the pen on paper.

Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. as opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. this all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

The artist usually sets out -- or used to -- to point a moral and adorn a tale. the tale, however, points the other way, as a rule. two blankly opposing morals, the artist's and the tale's. never trust the artist. trust the tale. the proper functions of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.

My goal the whole time has been for people to see me as a stand-alone artist. i came out with young money, the biggest hip-hop label in the world at the time. and then it was, 'how do i branch away from lil wayne?'

The world is crawling with authors touring now. they're like performance artists.

If you participate in life, you don’t see it clearly: you suffer from it too much or enjoy it too much. the artist, to my way of thinking, is a monstrosity, something outside nature. all the misfortunes providence inflicts on him come from his stubborness in denying that maxim.
Artist Thinking Suffering
Back in the early days like for the temptations, supremes and four tops, artist development was alive in record companies. every artist had a moment to develop the record visually. when the web took over and camera phones, it stripped the artists of the power to figure it out. so there's a need to bridge that gap and that's my job.
