Summary

This quote is suggesting that a race, whether referring to a sporting race or a metaphorical race, is like a work of art. Just as an artwork can evoke different emotions and interpretations in different people, a race can also have a subjective impact depending on an individual's level of understanding. Each person can have a unique experience when observing a race, influenced by their own perspective and comprehension. Thus, the quote highlights the diverse and personal nature of the reactions and insights that a race can inspire.
