"All things on earth point home in old October; sailors to sea, travellers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken"

This quote by Thomas Wolfe talks to the concept that all things in life are linked which we are all inevitably heading in the direction of the very same location. The imagery of October is used to represent completion of a cycle, as well as the idea that all points on earth are heading residence. The sailors are heading back to sea, the travellers to wall surfaces and also fencings, the seekers to the field and also hollow, and the lover to the love he has forsaken. This quote talks with the suggestion that no matter where we are in life, we are all heading towards the very same destination. We are all attached and also ultimately heading home. This quote is a reminder that regardless of just how far we may stray, we are all heading in the direction of the exact same location.
