Quote by Henry Vaughan
Man hath still either toys or care: But hath no root, nor to one place is tied, but ever restless and irregular, about this earth doth run and ride. He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where; He says it is so far, that he has quite forgot how to go there
Summary
This quote highlights the inherent nature of human beings as beings who are constantly either occupied with trivial matters or burdened with worries. It suggests that humans lack a sense of stability and are characterized by restlessness and unpredictability as they navigate through life. They may acknowledge the existence of a home, but have become so disconnected from it that they have forgotten the way back, emphasizing the idea of being adrift and unsettled in their wanderings on Earth.
