“Evn thou who mournst the Daisys fate,
That fate is thineno distant date;
Stern Ruins ploughshare drives , elate,
Full on thy bloom,
Till crushd beneath the furrows weight,
Shall be thy doom.”

“If we confine ourselves to a general and distant reflection on the ills of human life, that can have no effect to prepare us for them. If by close and intense meditation we render them present and intimate to us, that is the true secret for poisoning all our pleasures, and rendering us perpetually miserable.”
—David Hume (17111776)
