Snail's Essence

The ancients believed that the moist trail left by a snail,
as it crept, was the snail's own essence,
Depleting its body little by little;
the farther the snail toiled the smaller it became,
until it finally rubbed itself out.
That is how perfectionists are.

This is a quote, that I got from my ACT test years ago.
It had something to do with one of the questions.
I don't remember the details anymore.
Besides the fact that I liked this quote so I copied it down for later.
I thought it was rather....interesting.
Hope you liked it too. :)

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
