The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon Turns Ashes - or it prospers; and anon, Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face, Lighting a little hour or two - is gone.
The Meaning of This Quote
This quote is saying that people’s hopes and dreams in life often fail or only last briefly. It’s like snow falling on an arid desert, which soon melts away. No matter how much we want something, it can’t last forever; it will eventually go away.
