Request ...

[MICHAEL PUSHKIN]

Perhaps it's Marina Tsvetaeva's poem 'Est' nekii chas, kak sbroshennaya klazha...' from her 'Uchenik' cycle, in which she speaks of 'Odinochestva - verkhovnyi chas' ?

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?
