Thanks for the responses, and especially to Ayo Wahlberg for nailing it
down and putting my mind at ease :). What a beautiful passage it is ...
recalls Nietzsche on inspiration in Ecce Homo: "One hears, one does not
seek; one accepts, one does not ask who gives; like lightning, a thought
flashes up, with necessity, without hesitation...."
