Oh God, yes, "terrible expenditure of spirit" is a very good phrase to
describe grading papers.
J.R.R. Tolkein found a blank page in a composition book he was grading. He
was so delighted that he wrote, "once in a wood there lived a hobbit below
the ground" (or something to that effect) on the blank page.
He later decided he needed to write about Hobbits to find out what Hobbits
were.
The rest is history ;)
