Summary

This quote suggests that life is comprised of various elements, including work, sleep, and love. However, it also implies that these things alone do not define the entirety of our existence. By emphasizing "a little," it reminds us of life's fleeting nature. Despite our dedication to these aspects, it implies that they are ultimately trivial in the grand scheme of things. The quote illustrates the transient nature of life and encourages us to appreciate and find a balance between the different facets of our existence.

Look, how the floor of heavenIs thick inlaid with patines of bright gold;There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'stBut in his motion like an angel sings ...Such harmony is in immortal souls;But, whilst this muddy vesture of decayDoth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
