Summary

This quote highlights the primary reason behind many failures - the failure to begin. Often, individuals struggle to take the initial step towards their goals, trapped in the inertia of their existing routine or fear of the unknown. However, it is only by overcoming this inertia and starting that progress can be made. Many people miss out on opportunities and ultimately fail due to their reluctance to take the first brave and necessary leap towards their aspirations.

Humanity is a biological species, living in a biological environment, because like all species, we are exquisitely adapted in everything: from our behavior, to our genetics, to our physiology, to that particular environment in which we live. The earth is our home. Unless we preserve the rest of life, as a sacred duty, we will be endangering ourselves by destroying the home in which we evolved, and on which we completely depend.

I think that great poetry is the most interesting and complex use of the poet's language at that point in history, and so it's even more exciting when you read a poet like Yeats, almost 100 years old now, and you think that perhaps no one can really top that.
