Summary

It urges individuals to focus on embracing each moment, making the most of their time, and cultivating a life of purpose and significance, rather than merely existing for a prolonged period.

We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition.
