"My relationship with my muse is a delicate one at the best of times and I
feel that it is my duty to protect her from influences that may offend
her fragile nature. She comes to me with the gift of song and in return I treat her with the
respect I feel she deserves - in this case this means not subjecting
her to the indignities of judgement and competition. My muse is not a
horse and I am in no horse race and if indeed she was, still I would not
harness her to this tumbrel - this bloody cart of severed heads and
glittering prizes. My muse may spook! May bolt! May abandon me
completely!"
