What does "matched by" mean here?
I have a question about the following article.
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/08/obama-surveillance-and-the-legacy-of-the-march-on-washington.html
I don't understand "matched only by" as used in this sentence. It means to
be on the same level...but it doesn't make sense here.
Thank you in advance.
"We've compressed the grand scale of the March on Washington—which took
place on August 28, 1963, fifty years ago this coming Wednesday—into
succinct quotes, a vine of grainy footage of Martin Luther King, Jr., at
the crowded dais, and a dream metaphor whose ubiquity is matched only by
its anodyne appeal."
