Quote by Henry David Thoreau

The fibers of all things have their tension and are strained

Summary

This quote suggests that everything in the world, from living beings to inanimate objects, possesses a natural tension or strain similar to the strings of a musical instrument. It implies that there is a hidden energy or force within all things, constantly exerting pressure and affecting their states. This tension could be interpreted as the underlying dynamic that gives life or essence to everything and highlights the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.
