My name is a gift
Not an arbitrary adjunct to
A supposition made by
Foreign tongues.
Tongues that speak with lyricism and cool;
Tongues that fork and drool
Venomous charm.
If my name is a gift,
Then we are indeed equal,
For in German a gift
Is just as bad.
Look it up,
You’ll be glad you had.
A dragon tamer is surely not poison.
There are so many layers in that poem, so many recesses and possibilities… Now I see you, now I don’t.
Passion is essentially pain.
I agree that passion and pain do share a certain intensity, the only difference is the emotional attachment you give the sensation I suppose. As a dragon tamer I match my opponents well, it comes with the territory, although I will always strive for the most positive outcome. Then passion and pain really do become inseparable.
