Summary

This quote suggests that tragedy has a powerful impact on individuals, akin to strong acid that eliminates all unnecessary and superficial aspects, leaving only the essential truth behind.

It highlights that amidst tragic circumstances, the inherent truth of a situation or the fundamental aspects of one's character and existence become more apparent and visible.
