The sleep that does not refresh--we've all known that in 21st Century America

Rah-rah America!
"That California get-rich-quick disease of my youth spread like wildfire. And it produced a civilization that destroyed the simplicity and repose of life, its poetry, its soft, romantic dreams and visions, and replaced them with the money fever, sordid ideals, vulgar ambitions, and the sleep that does not refresh.
It has produced a thousand useless luxuries and turned them into necessities and satisfied nothing. It has dethroned God and set up a shekel in his place. Oh the dreams of our youth . . . how beautiful they are and how perishable."
