"Where I Lived, and What I Lived For" by Henry David Thoreau. Page 24.
"That man who does not believe that each day contains an earlier, more sacred, and auroral hour than he has yet profaned, has despaired of life, and is pursuing a descending and darkening way."
I believe that this quote can easily be related to of daily lives. When Thoreau says this, he means that every hour of our day should be valued only only the people who treat every hour as if it were our last, will succeed greatly. Those who do not live this way shall have a despaired life and continue towards a "darkening way." Also when Thoreau says an earlier hour, I think he is intending to say that we should not waster the early hours of the day either by sleeping in or we will to continue down the "darkening way".
