When he has time to think over what he did, he will regret it.

Through over-practice of Balakiref's Islamey and Liszt's Don Juan Fantasia, he temporarily lost the use of his right hand. He regained it after a time, but it was during this period of single-handedness that he wrote the well-known “Prelude and Nocturne for the left hand only”, as well as a left-handed concert-paraphrase of a Strauss waltz, which has never been published.

Follow after the things which make for peace.

I like to relax pottering about the house doing this and that at the weekends.
