This man doesn’t even want to really leave however, and he knows everyone does not want him to go either, but the motivation is still too great to deny. A good quote is “I go where you wist not of, nor I nor any man nor woman. I only know I go to storms, grappling against things wet and naked,” where the man knows he should not leave, but he also knows he has to.

The imagery presented by the first line is that Shakespeare is just sitting there watching the clock and counting the minutes pass by.
