Selections from The Heart of Thoreau’s Journals page 41
“No doubt it s indispensable that we should do out work between sun and sun, but only a wise man will know what that is. And yet how much work will be undone, put off to the next day, and yet the system goes on!”
What is said here is that, it is necessary for one to work form sun up to sun down but only the “wise” man or the person that strives hard really knows what that means. When some one work forms sun up to sun down, really how much work will get done this is what is said in the second sentence. What is also said in the sentence is that when one puts off a duty or work it will cumulate thus making the person behind in the work due the next day it will push the duties do the next day back thus moving everything back in the grand scheme. This type of thing can be related to school in that when a kid does not do his or her homework it accumulates to next night thus causing he or her to miss another homework assignment.
