Summary

This quote suggests that there is an inherent mystery to the human mind. When encountering someone, the speaker feels a sudden awareness that the person's thoughts and inner world are inaccessible to them. The "mind of man" is depicted as an enigma, emphasized by the idea that it contains a personal "circumference" beyond the speaker's understanding. This highlights the inherent limitations in truly comprehending someone else's thoughts and experiences, resulting in a sense of distance and separation between individuals.
