Inhibition

 

Is the power of speech denied them?

Or don’t they feel it at all?

Haven’t they anything to say?

 

Yet they speak more fluently,

the less a thought inhibits them!

How hard that is, to speak a thought!

 

And they speak so fluently,

if they have some intention!

How often one is astonished there!

 

 

Arnold Schoenberg
