Summary

This quote suggests that many famous individuals struggle to move on from the peak moment or success in their lives. They become so attached to their most triumphant accomplishments that they are unable to let go and find new sources of fulfillment. This may reflect a fear of never surpassing that level of recognition or an unwillingness to embrace change. Ultimately, it portrays how holding onto past glories can hinder growth and prevent the exploration of new opportunities.

One day, on tearing off some old bark, I saw two rare beetles, and seized one in each hand. Then I saw a third and new kind, which I could not bear to lose, so I popped the one which I held in my right hand into my mouth. Alas! it ejected some intensely acrid fluid, which burnt my tongue so that I was forced to spit the beetle out, which was lost, as was the third one.
