The bright side of the planet moves toward darkness And the cities are falling asleep, each in its hour, And for me, now as then, it is too much. There is too much world.

About This Quote

In the Iliad, Homer records that Achilles breaks down into tears after his beloved Patroclus is killed in battle. In his grief, he says to his fellow warriors: “There is too much of the world, and not enough of death.” He was a man who did not know the meaning of defeat. His sense of optimism was based on a realization that life is a chance for growth and opportunity.
