Summary

This quote conveys that a dreamer is someone who often operates in solitude, navigating their path only by the faint light of the moon. However, their punishment is that they are able to envision the forthcoming possibilities or successes before others can. In this context, "punishment" refers to the emotional burden and impatience that arises from the dreamer's eagerness for a future that is not yet visible to the rest of the world. It suggests that while dreamers possess unique insight and foresight, they may also endure frustration and a sense of isolation.
