One of Mary Oliver's most famous lines is "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

I see it quoted all the time out of context, usually on insipid inspo posts about living life to the fullest.

Every so often, I like to go back and re-read the poem it's from, The Summer Day. The meaning of a line can change quite a bit when you read it in context.
