Understanding this quote
The quote compares the mind to something with borders that can move. What we know, notice, or are able to imagine is not permanently fixed; it can expand, narrow, or change over time. “Ever shifting” stresses that the limits of our minds are continually changing rather than remaining in one settled place.
