just a personal interpretation, hope I’m close to the meaning (lol). I love esoteric writing.
Ooh goodie, I've got a fan! I love it too, and I think that's why my freewriting is always so clouded...
[quote]I’m not sure on the biblical context of this poem as I’m not a reader of the bible! Are you referring to some fate of Armageddon or the natural destiny of man through death? After destruction comes peace and understanding and dissolution becomes agreement in a world without hate or misfortune.
Oh don't worry, it's not biblical at all. Well, as far as I can tell, flame does refer to a literal apocalypse...I never thought of it that way, but what you said about \"[A]fter destruction comes peace and understanding and dissolution becomes agreement in a world without hate or misfortune\" is actually pretty accurate, I believe. Wow, cool! Can I quote you in future reference?
[quote]If we do not heed the lessons of our past we destroy ourselves, we will therefore not fulfill our true calling? A decent into Hell in which time is ignored and people are imprisoned by hate and evil?
Good idea, but not quite ^_^;
[quote]But by chance in a bendable universe, the flame will be blown out by the wind of the angel (a true calling of referring to world peace?) the thread in which you based your poem on will disappear and lose it meaning, humankind radiates in unbound darkness?
Erm...actually, it's more pessimistic than that; you've got the good and the bad reversed. If I remember my high school Dramatic Arts and Literature, \"soft\" was used in Shakespeare's day -- if not primarily by the bard himself -- and means \"wait a minute\". The term \"fall\" here means \"die\". Likewise, \"night\" I think is referring to extinction. O.o;;
I really like it. what i enjoy with peoples writing is the Interpretation.
Me too, me too! That's why even if dream interpretation is a little shaky, I still love hearing how some other people see it. You've done a spectacular job with this. I think it's better than what I've determined, only because it's more optimistic.
[quote]With the title are you refering to the thin string of life? how it can be taken from us in a whim?
I'm not sure...I think it refers to the Thread as life -- and from what I can tell, a specific life, but in the context of the title referring to life in general -- and therefore, an elegy for life.
