That's exactly it. Unfortunately, no one is born with that much natural talent - it is work, and I will spit in the eye of anyone who denies that writing is. And we only get better by working. But sometimes the accidental beauty is better than anything ever contrived, and that's sort of depressing.
On the other hand, since writing this, even though I think that the lines were both so superb and subtle and they still are, I did like the one I came up with about "hiding like tigers in the hot Muggle jungle."
