Seneca. Quotes
The Poet Speaks To You About The Day, And About This Very Day That Is Flying. Is There, Then, Any Doubt That For Hapless Mortals, That Is, For Men Who Are Engrossed, The Fairest Day Is Ever The First To Flee? Old Age Surprises Them While Their Minds Are Still Childish, And They Come To It Unprepared And Unarmed, For They Have Made No Provision For It; They Have Stumbled Upon It Suddenly And Unexpectedly, They Did Not Notice That It Was Drawing Nearer Day By Day. Even As Conversation Or Reading Or Deep Meditation On Some Subject Beguiles The Traveller, And He Finds That He Has Reached The End Of His Journey Before He Was Aware That He Was Approaching It, Just So With This Unceasing And Most Swift Journey Of Life, Which We Make At The Same Pace Whether Waking Or Sleeping; Those Who Are Engrossed Become Aware Of It Only At The End.
