Summary

This quote suggests that the subject being described is completely devoid of any vitality or power. It implies a state of stillness and inertia, with no ability to perceive or respond to the surrounding world. It uses the metaphor of being "rolled around in earth's diurnal course" to convey the sense of being carried along passively, without any agency or consciousness. The mention of rocks, stones, and trees emphasizes the subject's lifelessness and inability to engage with its environment.
