As Broad as Its Long - meaning Summary
Fate Evens Out Character
This short poem states that outcome or fate treats people equally regardless of temperament. Whether someone is modest or bold, the poem argues, they will face the same results, so postures of humility or pride do not alter ultimate consequences. It presents a resigned, didactic observation about human condition and social standing, suggesting moral conduct and outward demeanor do not change the impartial mechanics of fate.
