It is not only the mystic and the meditator who may pass through a dark night of the soul, but also the artist. He may find that his creative faculty seems to have deserted him. Either he will do no work at all or discontinue what he has been trying to do and change to a different work in which he can summon up an interest. He knows that one day the phase will pass and this may be in a matter of days, weeks, or months.
