Your account of creativity in this poem does not deal with volition in the poet or artist who pursues a specific artistic goal. This is about a more fundamental aspect of creativity which runs parallel to our human efforts. What appears to be automatic is really a divine impulse rushing through things and humans and at the end of this surging is the poem or the painting or the music that fulfills the divine energy. Dylan Thomas has a passage about creativity that goes THE FORCE THAT THROUGH THE GREEN FUSE DRIVES THE FLOWER / DRIVES MY GREEN AGE. That is, there is a natural energy of life which art imitates and parallels. Thomas only describes this as a process of Nature; you add the SUPERNATURAL to the natural and give a wider perspective on creativity.
