Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance and longevity of happiness. It suggests that experiencing happiness just once, like seeing a single swallow, is not enough to signify a whole season of joy. True happiness should be a continuous and ongoing state that fills one's entire life, rather than something fleeting or temporary. It encourages a pursuit of sustained happiness and contentment, rather than relying on brief moments of joy.
