Figure of speech
Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses.
Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.
Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail.
Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again.
“ Use...as if... Hear...as if... Touch...as if... Smell, taste...as if...
be stricken blind
be stricken deaf

Explanation
The tales of two cities 《双城记》
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
It was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
It was the season of light, it was the season of darkness,
It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
We had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
We were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way.
“I only look at what I have, not at what I don’t have."
——Helen Keller
