about

"If any of us knew what we were doing, or where we are going, then when we think we best know! We do not know to-day whether we are busy or idle.

All our days are so unprofitable while they pass, that ‘t is wonderful where or when we ever got anything of this which we call wisdom, poetry .... We never got it on any dated calendar day. Some heavenly days must have been intercalated somewhere, like those that Hermes won with dice of the Moon, that Osiris might be born."

--Emerson. "Experience"
