“In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.”
A Short History of Decay (1949)
“Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.
