Summary

This quote suggests that words, similar to the natural world, offer only a partial glimpse into the innermost thoughts and feelings of an individual. Words can express certain aspects of a person's soul, but they also have limitations - there are elements that remain concealed and unable to be fully articulated. Just as nature can be both revealing and mysterious, words only provide a fraction of the whole picture, leaving much of the soul hidden and unknown.
