"I have a house facing the sea, and the flowers are blooming in spring." The poet imagines that he has such a house where he can feed horses and chop firewood, care about food and vegetables (in real life-his position in the world), and a posture and space that transcends life and overlooks the sea (beyond the ideal shore of the world). Perhaps, like Thoreau, who he loved, he owned a wooden house by Walden Lake. This sentence appears at the end of the first chapter of the poem, expressing the desire to integrate into the daily happiness of the world and keep metaphysical observation and thinking; But at the end of the third chapter, the same sentence, with the word "I only wish", expresses another choice. Facing the sea and facing away from the world, he gave the blessing of "happiness on earth" to "strangers" (or "everyone"), and he still stuck to his space and posture.
