"There was also a work-ethic in the poem that I liked, something that suggested writing poems (or stories, or essays) had as much in common with sweeping the floor as with mythy moments of revelation. There's a place in 'A Raisin in the Sun' where a character cries out: "I want to fly! I want to touch the sun!" to which his wife replies, "First eat your eggs."

-Stephen King "On Writing"
