Summary

This quote, by Edgar Allan Poe, speaks to the power and importance of daydreaming and having an active imagination during waking hours. It suggests that those who engage in daydreaming are more perceptive and aware of the world around them compared to those who only indulge in night dreams, which are often far less controlled and conscious. By asserting that daydreamers are "cognizant of many things," Poe implies that their level of creativity and mindfulness allows them to notice and understand aspects of life that may go unnoticed by others.

The individual (no matter how well-meaning he might be, no matter how much strength he might have, if only he would use it) does not have the passion to rip himself away from either the coils of Reflection or the seductive ambiguities of Reflection; nor do the surroundings and times have any events or passions, but rather provide a negative setting of a habit of reflection, which plays with some illusory project only to betray him in the end with a way out: it shows him that the most clever thing to do is nothing at all.
