About This Quote
This quote comes from the poem “The Rescue Shop” by Robert Browning. The poem features an old man who lives in a place that is very much like hell. The old man has spent his life working hard to get what he wants and has earned many achievements, but he is never satisfied. He wants to be happy inside his own home, but he can’t find it.
He cannot seem to find peace anywhere. Finally, he realizes that he needs to go to hell to find what he really wants.
