5 P.M.
Here a poet can talk poetry as much as he wants , but at the same time he hears something besides poetry . We must stick to our original idea . '' `` Then let us do something to abate the nuisance of which I complain , '' said Confucius . `` Ca n't we adopt a house rule that poets must not be inspired between the hours of 11 A.M. and 5 P.M. , or in the evening after eight ; that any poet discovered using more than five arm-chairs in the composition of a quatrain will be charged two oboli an hour for each chair in excess of that number ; and that the billiard-marker shall be required to charge a premium of three times the ordinary fee for tables used by versifiers in lieu of writing-pads ? '' `` That would n't be a bad idea , '' said Sir Walter Raleigh . `` I , as a poet would not object to that . I do all my work at home , anyhow . ''
