Quote by Henry David Thoreau

The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible And indescribably as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, A segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.

The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible

Summary

In this quote, the speaker conveys that the essence and fulfillment of their daily existence cannot be fully captured or expressed through tangible means. Instead, they compare it to intangible and indescribable beauty, like the colors of a dawn or dusk. They describe it as a precious moment they have captured, like a handful of star-dust or a part of a rainbow. Ultimately, the quote suggests that the true value and harvest of life lie beyond material possessions, but rather in fleeting and magical experiences, which are cherished and preserved within the speaker's heart and memory.
