The lifeless mind may procrastinate for hours before a spike of motivation or an idea strikes. It is a quick motion and must be acted upon; otherwise, another hour may as well be added on to the wait. Williams creates a setting for the reader where a flower blooms amidst edged rocks. The flower is symbolic of the writer whom overcomes the rocks and divulges. His diction is commanding, direct, and short, “Compose,” “Invent!” He orders the reader to overcome these obstacles and find the passion necessary in writing. The word “saxifrage” is a reference to a small, low-bearing plant found common in rock gardens. He says that “saxifrage is his flower.” He relates himself to the flower due to its resilience. Malcolm Gladwell in Freakonomics often spoke on resilience and how the majority of kids born into poverty lived their adult lives in poverty. Resilience is a term used to single out independent variables that learn to overcome an amazing feat and find success inside their own barriers. Williams says, through the use of symbolism and supporting diction, that resilience is the key to writing. How else are we supposed to grow the saxifrage through the rocks other than to water
