Where does the narrator discuss Odysseus's patience as he waited to kill the giant? What does it say?

Odysseus shows patience when he needs to find a way to escape from Polyphemus, the Cyclops, in book IX of The Odyssey.  At first, he plans to "[draw] [his] sharp sword from [his] thigh, and [stab] [Polyphemus] in the breast where the midriff holds the liver [...]."  However, Odysseus realizes that if he kills the monster, there will be no way to move the huge stone that the Cyclops has placed in front of the door to his cave, and then Odysseus and his men will perish there with him.  So, he must come up with a new plan and be patient.  This is when he finds the olive stake and sharpens it to prepare to blind the monster so that he will still be able to move the stone from the door, but he will no longer be able to see the men, and this will make him easier to deceive.  In the meantime, the Cyclops eats several of Odysseus's men, but Odysseus must still be patient and wait for the perfect time to put his plan into effect.  The right time eventually comes when he gets Polyphemus drunk and the monster passes out.
