Interpretation
The line suggests a definition of “home” not as a fixed place but as a condition created by presence—one’s own, or implicitly the beloved’s. The archaic “thou” and the emphatic dashes give it the air of a lyric utterance: home is wherever “thou” is, collapsing geography into intimacy and attachment. Read this way, the statement elevates relationship and inward belonging over property or nation, implying that displacement can be overcome by companionship (or by an internalized sense of the other). The stark simplicity also hints at longing: if home depends on “thou,” then absence becomes homelessness.
