“I now bear away with me, O my God, all that I have received, the wind and the wisdom of all human spirits that have been, and now are ”
— Ian McEwan
Simplified Meaning:
This quote is about taking with you everything you have learned and experienced in life. Imagine you're leaving your hometown for a new adventure. You've grown up there, learned from your family and friends, and experienced many things. Now, as you move on, you carry all those lessons and memories with you. The "wind" represents change and new experiences, while "wisdom" is the knowledge and insights gained from others. Just like how a traveler brings essential items for their journey, this quote is about carrying the valuable lessons and memories to help guide you in life. By doing this, you make better decisions and become wiser from the experiences and teachings of others.
