Summary

This quote suggests that the occurrences of events in one's life are not isolated incidents, but rather tend to happen simultaneously, overwhelming individuals all at once. Events are depicted as "cowards" because they seem to hide and gather in groups before confronting an individual. This conveys the idea that life's challenges and experiences often occur in clusters, presenting multiple obstacles or opportunities that demand one's attention and response.

And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future,And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turn'd to beautiful results,And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death,And I will thread a thread through my poems that time and events are compact,And that all the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
