Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker finds greater fulfillment and emotional connection with nature than in their own personal relationships. They view the wind as their spouse, symbolizing its wild and untamed essence, and the stars as their children, representing the infinite beauty they perceive in the world. However, while they appreciate the poetic and immersive notion of beauty in everything, this broader appreciation causes them to downplay or overshadow the smaller, more specific happiness that could be found within their domestic relationships.
