When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone…
““When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer---say traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep---it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best, and most abundantly. Whence and how they come, I know not, nor can I force them.””
