Size Circumscribes It Has No Room - meaning Summary
Grandeur Repels Smallness
The poem considers how vastness or moral/spiritual greatness inherently rejects trivial intrusions and petty criticism. Using the image of a Giant and a Gnat, it suggests that true magnitude is unconcerned with small annoyances or slanders; such offenses cannot meaningfully affect what is fundamentally large. The tone is compact and aphoristic, arguing that intrinsic size renders calumny and minor foes irrelevant rather than threatening.
