Here is a quote from the John Kenneth Galbraith obit., New York Times:
He continued to rise early and, despite the seeming effortlessness of his
prose, revised each day's work at least five times. "It was usually on
about the fourth day that I put in that note of spontaneity for which I am
known," he said.
