Emily DickinsonWild Nights — Wild Nights! Were I with thee Wild Nights should be Our luxury! Futile — the winds —To a heart in port —Done with the compass —Done with the chart! Rowing in Eden —Ah, the sea! Might I moor — Tonight —In thee!
About This Quote
In this poem, William Wordsworth gives a glimpse of what life would be like if people lived their lives to the fullest without giving a second thought to the future. In this world, where everything is meaningless, all that is truly important is being with one’s loved ones and being close to nature. In our lives, we can never get enough of wild nights. They are a luxury that only comes along every hundred years or so. And while we live in a time where obsessing over the future is common practice, we have lost all ability to appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
