LETTER–To Lord Byron
Letter to Lord Byron begins with a spirited nod to your reputation—grand, scandalous, and still undecided in the hands of modern critics. The pen that writes to you carries both admiration and a grin, acknowledging that no figure in English letters has divided taste with such drama. Where Leigh Hunt once addressed you as “noble,” this letter does so with a blend of respect and irreverence, much like your own poetry—bold in tone, layered in intent. In the drawing rooms of your time, and now in…-

How to Choose
In How to Choose, the chapter explores the decision-making process within creative work, emphasizing the role of comparison and instinct in refining artistic choices. It draws a parallel between developing a creative piece and a seed growing into a tree, where every choice serves as a branching point, shaping the final outcome.

Chapter 4: Spelling Tuesday

Chapter V invites readers into Henri Bergson’s original vision of inner experience, a philosophy that reshapes how we understand thought, time, and freedom. He departs from the prevailing view of consciousness as a collection of separate parts. Instead, he argues that mental life flows like a melody, where each note influences the one before and after. Bergson sees consciousness as layered and continuous, not mechanical or static. This movement, which he calls “duration,” cannot be sliced into…-

The Source of Creativity
The chapter "The Source of Creativity" explores the vast and limitless reservoir of creative material that surrounds us at all times. Every thought we have, every sensation we experience, and even the fleeting fragments of dreams or forgotten ideas contribute to this boundless source. Creativity, rather than being something we generate in isolation, is described as an external force—one that we tune into through observation, intuition, and memory. This perspective shifts the understanding of artistic…-
