Quote by William Empson
Slowly the poison the whole blood stream fills. It is not the effort nor the failure tires. The waste remains, the waste remains and kills.
Summary
This quote suggests that the negative impact of something poisonous or harmful gradually spreads throughout one's entire being. It emphasizes that it is not the initial efforts or failures that exhaust us, but rather the lingering effects of wasted time, energy, or negative experiences. This waste, whether physical, emotional, or mental, persists and eventually becomes lethal. It serves as a cautionary reminder that the consequences of unresolved or unaddressed toxicity can accumulate over time and have severe repercussions.
