deliveries without deliverance

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance, which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.

(from Jelynne’s fb entry quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson)
