it is but in the wearing one must prove to be worthy to wear (the crown) Explanation: is the way I read this. One must act like a King to hold a sceptre or wear a crown, not just be party of the rabble (the many javelins) but ONE will be a scepter just as there may be many helmets but only one crown Earier he has said that these men have toppled castles in their quest for freedom but ive in hovels and think that by making war that they are proving their freedom but all they are doing is proving they need someone to govern them, a tyrant -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2012-10-28 00:57:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or one must prove ONESELF to be worthy... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2012-10-28 13:05:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- a bit more explanation not just be part of the rabble= one must stand out from the crowd as an individual who is worthy to hold the sceptre/scepter "many helmets" = many can wear helmets (as in a battle) but only one is worthy to wear a crown -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2012-10-28 13:13:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- a bit more explanation not just be part of the rabble= one must stand out from the crowd as an individual who is worthy to hold the sceptre/scepter "many helmets" = many can wear helmets (as in a battle) but only one is worthy to wear a crown |

it is but in the wearing it is how one carries out a role* that determines one's worthiness Explanation: An interpretation partially based on the idea expressed in: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4743/origin-of-id... Therefore, only those who have excelled in the use of a javelin may be worthy of a scepter, or those who've performed great deeds wearing a helmet merit a crown. |
