But when one is "seized" or in a sort of spiritual possession -- call it want you like -- this moment is temporary and eventually the artist gets around to eating and drinking and playing, et al, and generally experiencing happiness as he likes. There need not be the never-ending sacrifice to create art. That's a false badge of honor when worn all the time; and shysters are ever-ready to give out these badges to naive talents in lieu of the cash that makes life worth living.
