A Fresh Meaning

The mistake we make is to turn upon our past with
angry wholesale negation … The way of wisdom is to
treat it airily, lightly, wantonly, and in a spirit of poetry;
and above all to use its symbols, which are its spiritual
essence, giving them a new connotation, a fresh
meaning.

- John Cowper Powys
