Any rainy summer morning, of course, has the seeds of gloomy alienation sown in. But a rainy summer morning far from home - when your personal clouds don't move but hang - can easily produce the feeling of the world as seen from the grave. This I know.
In Richard Ford's "Independence Day," the author reflects on the emotional weight of a rainy summer morning, particularly when one is away from home. Such weather can evoke feelings of isolation and gloom, suggesting an inherent alienation that permeates the experience.
Ford captures the heaviness of personal sorrow, likening it to clouds that linger without dissipating. The effect of this gloomy environment can resonate deeply, akin to perceiving the world through the lens of despair, highlighting the profound impact of one's surroundings on emotional state.
