In this passage from Kafka's "Description of a Struggle and Other Stories," the narrator reflects on the beauty of the moonlight. Initially, they consider standing under the Tower Bridge to feel its light, but then realize that the moon illuminates all things equally. This realization leads to a sense of freedom and joy, prompting the narrator to embrace the moonlight fully.

The act of spreading their arms symbolizes a desire to connect with something greater than themselves. It highlights a moment of introspection where the narrator recognizes both their own modesty and the universal nature of beauty, suggesting a deep appreciation for the wonders of the world around them.
