“A man is less articulate when he is humming than when he is calling for help.” — G.K. Chesterton, The Victorian Age in Literature
A good mood may produce mindless mumbles, but a bad place produces clear cries. The atmosphere of a man lost in good thoughts may resemble a melody, but the air of a man who feels lost is overcast with screaming.
If you are having a good day, you do not feel a compulsion to articulate it. You just sit back and enjoy. If you are having a rough go of it, you are highly motivated to put it into words. You cannot sit on it.
