01 The passage
The Odyssey Book V
“To his dear native landRead in context
Depart he cannot”
Homer · William Cullen Bryant translation
02 A possible connection
Home can be a longing.
Odysseus longs to return. In The Secret Garden, Craven travels away from a home he has ceased to inhabit fully.
Another way to read it

The words are the evidence. The reading is yours.
