I could not tell anymore how much of the screaming came from my own mouth. I was borne up on the swell of it, I was the sound. We were all howling together, the poor and the quality, the boxing girl and the beast inside my breast. If she was a madwoman, then we were all of us with her, and I had never felt such savage elation, nor known that it existed. Anna Freeman
About This Quote

In this quote, the narrator is describing a moment of great happiness. He is describing a feeling that he has never felt before and he feels as if it came from inside himself. He says “we were all howling together” and that he felt that he was also a part of the sound. In fact, he describes it as if it was coming from his body as well as from the outside world.

In the same way, there is a beast within his breast and everyone is howling with him, poor or rich, girl or boxer, mad or sane. When we feel those things, those feelings of elation and happiness, we should remember to appreciate them and not to take them for granted. People who do not appreciate those moments will never truly appreciate life itself.
