Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.
I hope this helps!

Which question could a reader ask to help gauge whether a narrator is unreliable ?
s2008m [1.1K]

D. Does the narrator see the world as most people see it?

A narrator can refer to present events or recall events from the past, and can pay attention to certain details rather than others because they relate to the events he or she is narrating. Feeling emotions towards others is natural, and therefore, not a sign of unreliability, although it might lead to bias in some cases. However, all these elements may exist within a common ground with the reader. While if the narrator's view of the world differs from that of most people, this may lead to distortion of the narrated facts or their circumstances.

H</span>e becomes a hero insofar as he creates meaning for himself in a meaningless world. Here is a passage that points to this:

"For soon amid the silver loneliness
Of night he lifted up his voice and sang,
Secure, with only two moons listening,
Until the whole harmonious landscape rang—"
