Quote by Henry David Thoreau
I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extravagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limit of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced. Extravagance! it depends on how you are yarded.
Summary
The quote expresses a fear of the speaker that their expression or language may not be extravagant or far-reaching enough to convey the truth that they have come to believe in. It suggests that in order to adequately express profound ideas, one must go beyond the confines of one's daily experiences and think beyond the ordinary. The reference to being "yarded" indicates that the extent of one's extravagance depends on the limitations or constraints imposed upon them.
