"The rain began again. It fell heavily, easily, with no meaning or intention but the fulfilment of its own nature, which was to fall and fall"

- Helen Garner

About this Quote

In this quote, the author is describing the rain as a force of nature that is merely following its own natural course. The rain is not actively trying to attain anything or make a declaration, it is just doing what it is implied to do - fall. Using words like "heavily" and "easily" recommend that the rain is both effective and uncomplicated in its actions. This could be viewed as a metaphor for life, where things may occur with no specific intent or significance, however rather as an outcome of their own intrinsic nature.
