In my mind, when I look at these fields, I say to her, See?…See? and I think she does. I hope later she will see and feel a thing about these prairies I have given up talking to others about; a thing that exists here because everything else does not and can be noticed because other things are absent. She seems so depressed sometimes by the monotony and boredom of her city life, I thought maybe in this endless grass and wind she would see a thing that sometimes comes when monotony and boredom are accepted. It's here, but I have no names for it.

In this passage, the narrator reflects on the significance of the prairies he is observing, hoping that someone else, likely a loved one, will eventually understand the deeper meaning he perceives in these vast, empty fields. He tries to share the unique quiet and absence of distraction in the landscape, suggesting that the emptiness itself holds a subtle beauty that can become meaningful if acknowledged.

He expresses concern about her feelings of depression and boredom with city life and hopes that the endless grass and wind might bring her some insight or peace through acceptance of monotony. Although he recognizes this feeling exists, he admits he cannot name or fully articulate it, implying that some of life’s most profound experiences are intangible and can only be felt rather than described.
