The phrase "What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare" comes from a poem called "Leisure" by William Henry Davies. The poem reflects on the busy, hectic nature of modern life and the importance of taking time to appreciate the simple pleasures of the world around us.
In the first line of the poem, Davies asks a question that many of us might have asked ourselves at one point or another: what is the point of life if we are constantly weighed down by our responsibilities and worries? The phrase "full of care" suggests that our lives are filled with stress and anxiety, leaving us with little time to relax and enjoy the present moment.
But Davies doesn't stop there. He goes on to suggest that this busy, care-filled existence leaves us with "no time to stand and stare." To stand and stare is to pause and take in our surroundings, to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world around us. It is a way of stepping back from the hustle and bustle of daily life and finding a sense of peace and contentment in the present moment.
Davies's poem suggests that we need to make time for leisure and contemplation, to take a break from the busyness of life and simply stand and stare at the world around us. In doing so, we can find a sense of connection to the world and to ourselves, and perhaps even a greater appreciation for the beauty and simplicity of life.
Ultimately, the meaning of Davies's poem is that we should not get so caught up in the cares and worries of life that we forget to stop and appreciate the world around us. We should make time to stand and stare, to find joy and meaning in the simple pleasures of life, and to find peace and contentment in the present moment. So, the poem encourages us to slow down, take a deep breath, and embrace the beauty and simplicity of the world around us.

Some such women are on their own because their husbands have left them or because they have escaped abusive marriages. What is unprecedented, however, is the scope and speed of women's migration to these jobs. Instead, we see a benign scene of Third World women pushing baby carriages, elder care workers patiently walking, arms linked, with elderly clients on streets or sitting beside them in First World parks.

Some women are fortunate enough to find a decent job that supplies for the material needs for their own children, others are less fortunate. The more we love and are loved, the more deeply we can love.
