The latest news...discoveries, inventions, societies...authors old and new, My dinner, dress, associates, looks, buisness, compliments, dues, The real or fancied indifference of some man or woman I love, The sickness of one of my folks-or myself...or ill doing...or loss or lack of money...or depressions or exaltations, They come to me days and nights and go from me again, but they are not me myself.
The meaning of this passage is that all the things that make up a life are not the things that make up a persons spirit. The author creates this meaning through a series of lists. Because the words are listed none of them stand out on their own. Showing how not any one part of a life is the most significant. In reading the lists the reader gets the feelings of going through the motions. This is the same way the speaker feels about life.
