Arty blip last thing at night

Rossini said, possibly on one of those occasions on the afternoon of the premiere of one of his operas when he still hadn't written the overture and the impresario who was financing it instructed that he was to be locked into a room and the manuscript pages thrown out of the window as soon as he finished them for the copyists to write out parts and in default of any pages Rossini himself was to be thrown out and he a rather large gentleman around the waist particularly at the end of his life thanks to his success and his invention of Tornedos Rossini, "Nothing primes the inspiration so much as necessity."
So here I was, the day declining, and no blip, and there on the wall...
