This reminds me of a lot of the old horror novels I’d pick up…
Demonology and Witchcraft by Sir Walter Scott, Bart. ; in a series of letters addressed to J.G. Lockhart.
What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’?

An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn’t know why they choose him and he’s usually too busy to wonder why.
