Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly, yes

Drink in your summer, gather your corn...
The dreams of the nighttime will vanish by dawn”

“There are no secrets to success: don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence.”
