Summary

This quote suggests that throughout the day, a person's level of energy and enthusiasm gradually diminishes. In the morning, when one is refreshed and motivated, they engage in activities using their entire body. However, as the day progresses, fatigue sets in, reducing their level of physical and mental involvement. By evening, when weariness reaches its peak, they may only have enough energy to walk with their legs, symbolizing a mere physical effort devoid of the same vigor that they possessed earlier in the day.
