Each day works out its part of the pattern.

It is a stupendous thought. It makes one pause—life, whether here, or in any other state, is not a thing to be got through and forgotten as quickly as may be; it is not a thing that is to be taken in the easiest way possible; nor is it given to us to despise or to maltreat. Each day works out its part of the pattern, each night sees the weaving in. And more than that—hourly, minutely—the spirit demands an account of the personal self for this and for that.
