Summary

This quote suggests that despite all practicality and practical responsibilities in life, it is the essence of the individual's poetic existence that ultimately prevails. It implies that even though one may have to prioritize practical and mundane aspects of life, the true essence of one's being lies in the pursuit and expression of their passion, creativity, and artistic nature. Regardless of the challenges faced and choices made, the poem of one's existence, or the unique way they navigate their life, will ultimately emerge as the victorious and defining factor.

And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!'
