Chapter 16: On the Shortness of Life, by Seneca the Younger

Today, we read chapter 16 of On the Shortness of Life, by Seneca the Younger.

"This strange perception of the passage of time depending on one’s mood and company has provided material for the poets...They waste the day in anticipation of the night, then spend the night worrying about the coming dawn."
