Summary

This quote by poet Robert Frost suggests that often in life, we engage in endless speculation and make assumptions about various situations or people. However, true understanding and knowledge are found in the "middle," the core or essence of the matter or person we are trying to comprehend. The "secret" symbolizes the deeper truth that can only be accessed by going beyond superficial appearances or assumptions. It implies that gaining genuine understanding requires introspection and delving into the heart of things, rather than simply speculating from the periphery.
