Summary

This quote suggests that as we grow older and acquire knowledge, we become less attentive to the visual aspects of the world around us.

The quote implies that adults often live in their thoughts, fixating on the past and future, rather than present visual experiences, which are seemingly overshadowed by mental preoccupations.
