Understanding this quote
The quote compares different forms of expression in nature: the fish is quiet, the land animal is loud, and the bird sings. It then presents the human being as containing all three qualities—the sea’s silence, the earth’s noise, and the air’s music. In this sense, people are described as able to hold quiet, sound, and song together.
