Quote by William Butler Yeats

Life moves out of a red flare of dreams into a common light of common hours, until old age bring the red flare again.

Life moves out of a red flare of dreams into a common light

Summary

This quote suggests that throughout life, we experience moments filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and dreams represented by the red flare. However, as time passes, these extraordinary moments fade, and we settle into the mundane routines of everyday life, represented by the common light of common hours. Yet, as we grow old, the quote indicates that the red flare of dreams can reappear, perhaps reminding us of the beauty and vibrancy that life can still hold even in older age.

The dilemma of modern medicine, and the underlying central flaw in medical education and, most of all, in the training of interns, is the irresistible drive to do something, anything. It is expected by patients and too often agreed to by their doctors, in the face of ignorance.
