Summary

This quote suggests that we are too preoccupied with our thoughts and ideas, detached from the world around us. Instead of fully experiencing the vibrant and chaotic essence of life, we have become passive observers, consumed by memories and recollections. We no longer immerse ourselves in the "wild outer music" of the streets, implying that our connection with reality has weakened as we retreat into our own mental constructs.
