Quote by Albert Camus

To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.

Summary

This quote highlights the notion that the number of years we live does not determine the value or richness of our experiences. It suggests that every individual is presented with an equal opportunity to explore and partake in life's experiences. However, it emphasizes the importance of being conscious and aware of these experiences. Simply living the passage of time is not enough; one must actively engage with the world, seize opportunities, and appreciate the abundance of experiences available to truly make the most of their lives.

Highly important in poetry is Rhythm, but the word means merely 'flow,' so that rhythm belongs to prose as well as to poetry. Good rhythm is merely a pleasing succession of sounds. Meter, the distinguishing formal mark of poetry and all verse, is merely rhythm which is regular in certainfundamental respects, roughly speaking is rhythm in which the recurrence of stressed syllables or of feet with definite time-values is regular. There is no proper connection either in spelling or in meaning between rhythm and rime (which is generally misspelled 'rhyme'). The adjective derived from'rhythm' is 'rhythmical'; there is no adjective from 'rime' except 'rimed.' The word 'verse' in its general sense includes all writing in meter. Poetry is that verse which has real literary merit.
