Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patience in his hand.

Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patien

Summary

This quote suggests that experience can be likened to a skilled musician playing a dulcimer, a string instrument. The dulcimer requires patience and control to create beautiful melodies. Similarly, experience grants individuals a deeper understanding and wisdom, cultivated over time. With patience, experience can help one navigate life's challenges, providing valuable insights and teachings along the way. Just like a musician conducts the dulcimer skillfully, experience can guide and harmonize our journeys, enriching our perspectives and helping us make more informed decisions.
