Understanding this quote
The speaker sees life as a “playhouse” filled with endlessly varied forms and experiences having a part in it. Yet within this world of visible shapes, the speaker also glimpses “him that is formless”—a presence that cannot be seen as one particular shape. The quote contrasts the changing world with what lies beyond form.
