24.365 Simplifications

January 24, 1852 "If thou art a writer, write as if time were short, for it is indeed short at the longest. Improve each occasion when thy soul is reached. Drain the cup of inspiration to its last dregs. Fear no intemperance of that, for the years will come when other thou will regret opportunities unimproved. The spring will not last forever. These fertile and expanding seasons of thy life, when rain reaches they root, when thy vigor shoots, when thy flower is budding, shall be fewer and far between." - The Diary of Henry David Thoreau
