1. To me: this suggests "eternal return of the same", i.e. regression into absolute self-reference

[glitch]

2. regression into absolute self-reference = ultimate narcissism?

Absolutely no input allowed. No growth, no evolution, stasis, forever. :scared:

[patrice]

4. Yes! and, hence, essential IMPOTENCE, which is a Dangerous thing around Nuclear Weapons.

But it makes complete sense also that the Ultimate Narcissist (a Blasphemer, btw) would Ultimately kill the killer in themselves, cleaning ALL away thereby and taking EVERYTHING BACK to begin again where once again it will meet its Anti-thesis. I think the jury is still out on whether the process is "eternal".

[glitch]

12. VERY interesting. May be eternal, but not necessarily locally so :) nt

3. yikes

and "palladin" means knight, esp white knight, and is used metaphorically to refer to Christ, as in Hopkins "Windhover"--if I remember correctly--pale also referring to a safe enclosure, i.e, "outside the pale" literally outside the distance wher arrows can reach, and also of course white, deadly white esp referring to skin.

Associations are fun!

And I repeat, who is writing this crazy script? Dickens?

7. I caught this morning, morning's minion,

Kingdom of daylight's dauphin, A dappled dawndrawn falcon in his riding of the rolling, level, underneath him steady air. And striding high there, how he wrung upon the rein of a wimpling wing in his ecstacy. Then off, off forth on swing, as a skates heel sweeps smooth on a bow bend, his hurl and gliding rebuffed the big wind. My heart, in hiding, stirred for a bird; the achieve of, the mastery of the thing. Brute beauty, valour, act, oh Air, pride, plume here buckle and the fire that breaks from thee then a billion times lovelier, more dangerous, Oh my chevalier! No wonder of it! Sheer plod makes plow down sillion shine! And blue bleak embers, ah my Dears, fall, gall themselves and gash gold vermillion.

Sorry I don't have the versing right; this is just the way the poem is in my head, so there could be some error in there too. I'm pretty sure Gerard Manly Hopkings wrote in English, but references, or at minimum allusions, to a palladin would be in the words "minion", "dauphin" and "chevalier".

5. The definition of: Palin de' wasila

Naked ambition and sociopathic lies.

Palindrome:
A word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward.

As is in "double talk?" LMAO.

6. this isnt a stretch or anything =D

id be more interested in the real etymology of her name, which i assume ties to her irish/english/german descent.

id be shocked if the roots were truly greek.

[Billy Burnett]

10. English and German Incorporated Greek into their respective languages.

Especially in their religious texts. Wouldn't surprise me at all that many English, Irish and German names are etymologically Greek.

8. How about the translation: Palin = "same old shit, only more of it"

[patrice]

9. Succinctly put; yep, definitely "more of it", the MOST shit possible, actually!

[demwing]

11. Palin = Back Again, Back Again = 4 More Years

Same old pig, different lipstick.
