Summary

This quote symbolizes the fleeting nature of beauty and life itself. The imagery of the flowers being vibrant and lively in the morning, only to wilt and become insignificant in the evening, emphasizes that nothing can escape the inevitable cycle of decay and impermanence. It serves as a reminder to appreciate and cherish the present moment as things can change rapidly, and what may seem significant now can ultimately become insignificant over time.

No, sir, I make it a rule of mine: the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask.
