Summary

This quote suggests that individuals can endure immense burdens that weigh them down to the point where they appear unable to recover. The imagery of being dragged to the withered bracken implies a sense of exhaustion and desperation. Despite this heavy load, the quote emphasizes that these individuals do not break under the weight.
