Summary

This quote suggests that despite the burdens and worries of life, we are granted two crucial forms of respite: hope and sleep. Providence, often understood as a divine guiding force, is said to provide us with these two comforting elements. Hope offers inspiration, optimism, and motivation, serving as a driving force in our lives. Sleep, on the other hand, grants us rest and renewal, allowing us to recharge and rejuvenate. Together, hope and sleep are presented as gifts from a higher power, offering solace and balance in the face of life's numerous challenges.

It is sometimes said that the tragedy of an artist's life is that he cannot realise his ideal. But the true tragedy that dogs the steps of most artists is that they realise their ideal too absolutely. For, when the ideal is realised, it is robbed of its wonder and its mystery, and becomes simply a new starting-point for an ideal that is other than itself.
