"The fugue breaks down immediately after the initial restatement of the themes, and Franck has a devil of time trying to start it up again, simply because he can't resist following the will-o'-the-wisp of a beautiful, non-fugal fragment just because it's occurred to him."

The wonderful phrase "will-o'-the-wisp" describes mysterious, unearthly lights sometimes seen by travellers in the night - it is said that the lights are caused by inflammable marsh gas such as phosphene or methane.
This phenomenon has also been called Foxfire, Jack-o'-lantern, or Ignis fatuus from the Latin ignis fire + fatuus foolish (foolish fire). So called in allusion to its tendency to mislead travelers.
Sightings of these lights occur around the world. The Longdendale Valley, in the High Peak District of Derbyshire, in the UK, has been the location for many sightings of strange lights and other unexplained phenomena. It now has a reputation of being one of Englands most active areas for the will o the wisp phenomena, as well as countless UFO sightings.
You can use the term "will-o'-the-wisp" in business to describe an impractical or unreachable goal.
