Quote by Lord (George Gordon) Byron
We have progressively improved into a less spiritual species of tenderness -- but the seal is not yet fixed though the wax is preparing for the impression.
Summary
This quote suggests that as a species, we have become less spiritually connected and empathetic towards one another over time. However, it also implies that there is still room for change and growth. The idea of the seal not being fixed yet, but the wax preparing for the impression, implies that there is potential for us to regain our spiritual tenderness and empathy, even if we are not currently exhibiting it prominently. It suggests that we have the capacity to evolve and reconnect with our spiritual nature, if we choose to.
