I was left behind with the immensity of existing things. A river, suffering because reflections of clouds and tress and not clouds and trees.

About This Quote

The immensity of existing things is a reference to how grand and endless our world is. We are all but specks in the vastness of time and space, but we are so small compared to what exists. I think it’s safe to say that our world is so big that it’s impossible to experience the immensity of existing things. The only way I can imagine this is through the poem “I was left behind with the immensity of existing things.”
