"A writer is like a bean plant - he has his little day, and then gets stringy"
- E. B. White
About this Quote
E. B. White's quote is a metaphor contrasting an author to a bean plant. The contrast recommends that an author's job is intermittent, with periods of performance as well as creativity followed by durations of stagnancy. The expression "he has his little day" implies that a writer experiences moments of inspiration and productivity, however these moments are fleeting. The phrase "then obtains stringy" implies that the author's productivity as well as creativity ultimately decrease, leaving them feeling uninteresting and incapable to create meaningful work. This metaphor is a pointer that creating is a procedure that requires perseverance as well as determination. Even when an author feels unimaginative, they should continue to function and also rely on that their imagination will ultimately return.
