Spring, if it lingers more than a week beyond its span, starts to hunger for summer to end the days of perpetual promise. Summer in its turn soon begins to sweat for something to quench its heat, and the mellowest of autumns will tire of gentility at last, and ache for a quick sharp frost to kill its fruitfulness. Even winter — the hardest season, the most implacable — dreams, as February creeps on, of the flame that will presently melt it away. Everything tires with time, and starts to seek some opposition, to save it from itself.

Abaratians are very much about living in the moment; living life because that’s what we’ve got, we’ve got today, we’ve got now, we’ve got being alive now and we have to be awake and alive in the moment and not asleep in our lives. And they would find the idea of sleeping through your life, of being bored – they would think that was very stupid – why would you be bored when there’s so much to do and so much to see and so much to be?

Why’d you want to sing about sad things?” Candy had asked him.”Because any fool can be happy,” he’d said to her.”It takes a man with real heart”—he’d made a fist and laid it against his chest—”to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.
