Summary

This quote highlights the sentiment of realizing the value of normalcy only when it is absent or threatened. As the protagonist wonders, certain aspects of life, such as vision or silence, often go unnoticed and unappreciated until they are taken away. Similarly, normalcy, with its routine, stability, and predictability, might be something one takes for granted until it is disrupted. This quote invites contemplation on the preciousness of ordinary, everyday moments and the importance of cherishing them before they are gone.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

Waste forces within him, and a desert all around, this man stood still on his way across a silent terrace, and saw for a moment, lying in the wilderness before him, a mirage of honourable ambition, self-denial, and perseverance. In the fair city of this vision, there were airy galleries from which the loves and graces looked upon him, gardens in which the fruits of life hung ripening, waters of Hope that sparkled in his sight. A moment and it was gone. Climbing to a high chamber in a well of houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglected bed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears.
