Answer:

The metaphor he uses is "this chopping of civilized life", in which he means that you are forced along whatever current is controlling you and you have no control. A similar metaphor is located in lines 199-209, which are "the surface of the Earth" and "the path which the mind follows". Just like the first one talks about how you are controlled by an established current, these show that the human mind is easily influenced similar to how the Earth's ground is easily shaped and marked by the steps taken by otehrs. These state issues of non-individuality and how we don't develop our own ideas.

We humans have wondered for many centuries about what exists in the universe that surrounds us. Which kind of pronoun case is th
slavikrds [6]
Not sure which word is bolded, but I can still help you out. There are two pronouns in this sentence: we and us. 
If we is bolded, the answer is C. nominative case. These pronouns are often the subject of a sentence. 
If us is bolded, the answer is A. objective case. The object of a sentence receives the verbs attention. In this sentence, you ask "What is surrounded?" to understand that us is objective case.
Just so you know, possessive case is when the pronoun owns something. For we, the possessive pronoun is our. We went home to our house.
