“As far as I am concerned, I wander around here with a sheet of music-paper in the mountains, clefts and valleys, and scribble some things for the sake of bread and money, as I have climbed to this height in this all-powerful previous “Phaeacia”, that, in order to gain time for a great piece of work, I must first scribble an amount for the sake of money, so that I can afford creating a great piece of work.”
