Quote Comment from Their Eyes Were Watching God

Quote 1: This quote is stating how from when boys are just small they build their dreams (the ship) and let them out on the open ocean. Some of these dreams get within reach as life goes on and some come all the way to shore meaning they come true. Other people give up on their dreams and just watch them float along the horizon and never attempt to retrieve them. Those that are left on the horizon never leave until the watcher dies.
