W.h. AudenHappy the hare at morning, for she cannot read The hunter's waking thoughts.
About This Quote
The hare in the forest is happy when she hears the hunter's footsteps in the morning. She doesn't know that he's hunting her, only that she hears the sound of his feet. The idea is that if you are happy in your own skin, today is a good day. You don't need to know why you are happy or what it is about your life that makes you happy. If you are happy, then you are happy .
