...You can go your whole life collecting days, and none will

Summary

When reflecting on life, this quote reminds us that it is easy to spend our time merely accumulating days without truly appreciating their value or recognizing the importance of each passing moment. We are cautioned that no matter how many ordinary or unremarkable days we have experienced, there will come a time when we deeply long for just one particular day from our past. Rather than taking our days for granted, we are advised to embrace each one fully, cherishing and making the most of every opportunity that presents itself.

Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.
