“Experience is never limited and it is never complete it is an immense sensibility a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue”
— Henry James

Simplified Meaning:
Experience is endless and always growing. It's like a very sensitive spider web made of thin silk threads hanging in your mind, ready to catch anything that comes along. Think of it as when you meet new people, learn new things, or see new places, your web gets more threads and catches more stuff. For example, when you travel to a new country, you learn about different cultures, foods, and ways of living. Each of these new bits of knowledge gets caught in your web of experiences, making your understanding of the world bigger and richer. Someone can apply this idea by staying open to new experiences and learning from everything around them, as it will always add to their growth and understanding.
