Quote by T. S. Eliot

The tiger springs in the new year. Us he devours.

The tiger springs in the new year. Us he devours.

Summary

This quote implies that the arrival of a new year is compared to a predatory tiger who consumes or "devours" us, symbolizing how time passes quickly and relentlessly. It suggests that the new year's arrival is both exhilarating and potentially overpowering, urging us to seize the opportunities it brings. It serves as a reminder to live each moment with intention and make the most of the time we have, as the tiger's instinct to consume suggests life's transitory nature.
