Although the deepest of snow in living memory lay upon the ground, the sun was shining and Aurelia breathed easiest out of doors. The four walls of any given room could not give her the horizons she longed for - horizons she could measure with her eyes and strive to conquer with her own two legs. She was like a wild animal, Cook always said. Tracy Rees
About This Quote

Aurelia was a woman who longed for the open air. She wanted to be free, to encounter life head-on. Instead of being confined within the four walls of her room, she wanted to be free to go out into the world and experience it. She is not content with being confined - she is not willing to just live her life within the four walls of her house.

She wants to experience life in all its grandeur outside. As such, she is like a wild animal - free and untamed yet still able to exert control over herself and her surroundings.
