Quote by Lord Byron
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Summary
This quote suggests that while death is often mourned and feared, it is ironic that we also spend a significant portion of our lives asleep. It highlights the idea that we naturally accept and engage in sleep, despite it being a state similar to death in terms of unconsciousness and lack of awareness. The quote invites contemplation on the paradoxical nature of our understanding and reactions to death and sleep, questioning why we mourn one while accepting the other.
