"Some of us come into the world with no other interest in the affairs of the world than that we made our parents a little glad, and very sorrowful.

Some come into the world and live a few years like a bubble, empty and gay, shining like a dove’s neck or the image of a rainbow—without substance, its colors are imaginary;

and so he dances out the gaiety of his youth, all the while in a storm,

enduring only because he is not knocked on the head

or crushed beneath the pressure of a load of indigested meat." Jeremy Taylor. 

Meaning -

Some lives seem to pass in a whirl of brief pleasure and outward brightness, bringing some joy, but mostly sorrow to those who love them,

while beneath the laughter they struggle through storms they scarcely understand—

surviving more by chance than wisdom.
