Summary

This quote suggests that those who aspire to be champions are driven by a fear of failure, as they do not want to lose. On the other hand, the majority of people have a fear of success and the responsibility that comes with it. It implies that champions possess a unique mindset and are willing to take risks and face the possibility of defeat in order to achieve their goals. It highlights the distinction in attitudes between those who are driven to succeed and those who are content with a more comfortable, and perhaps less fulfilling, status quo.

The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!

It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still. For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with howls of execration.
