Request ...

[Prof. R. Sussex]

I have a request from a colleague which I can't resolve: advice much
appreciated. Axmatova?
Many thanks
Roly Sussex

I have been for some months teased by a memory of something I recall being
said by a Russian poet, a woman, 20C: that poetry is work done in solitude
for everyone. Can anyone help me locate the source? Do any other sources of
a similar sentiment come to mind, not necessarily about poetry but about
the indirect sociability of solitary work?
