A description of the experience
OVER THE BRIDGE
One day I found myself, half-entranced, copying a print of Turner's colour-crazy picture of Norham Castle. One of those revelations took place, suddenly, while I was plodding away, and a door was flung open in my consciousness, flung open with a bang by the wind that bloweth where it listeth, at no man's bidding.
It was certainly not at my command. I was the passive victim of this expansive process; but a willing one, and a joyous one, though the experience was almost painful in its intensity.
