The mist just keeps on lifting and soon I'll be able to see all the way, as far as the earth's curvature allows. It's a blessing, that curvature, that hidden hemisphere-if we could take it all in at one, why move?

About This Quote

The mist just keeps on lifting and soon I'll be able to see all the way, as far as the earth's curvature allows. It's a blessing, that curvature, that hidden hemisphere-if we could take it all in at one, why move? In this quote from Ray Bradbury, Ray Bradbury is speaking of the world around him that is only partially seen. He sees a part of what life has to offer and is grateful for that. He sees a portion of the world but still wants more. He envies those who have the entire world at their disposal and yet choose to remain where they are.
