Summary

This quote humorously states that while most people have a fear of heights, the speaker has a fear of widths instead. In a literal sense, this could imply discomfort or anxiety towards wide or broad spaces. However, it is likely meant figuratively to highlight an aversion towards a broad range of possibilities, choices, or responsibilities. The quote playfully subverts the common fear of heights by presenting a unique and unexpected perspective on fear.

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give a damn, I cannot, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total dark sublime, Though this might take me a little time.
