Summary

This quote suggests that our actions are similar to the endings of verses in that we have the freedom to shape or determine them according to our own preferences or desires. Just as poets can choose how to end a rhyme, we have the ability to decide how we act and behave. It highlights the idea that we have agency and control over our actions, implying that we are responsible for the choices we make and the impact they have on our lives and the lives of others.
