But for that line, you're not going to get much help from me, or, do I expect, from anyone else for that matter. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sraja90 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I believe its a comparison between the turmoil of politics and love. In the 1st line, he seems to lose his train of thought after the comma. Then he continues on to speak of the various forms of politics and this could be where the turmoil comes into play. His love and the jumbled up thoughts are like those of the different political systems from those empires. Furthermore, all three of these nations were mighty empires at some point in time, and this could symbolize the power and magnitude of love that he is incapable of handling. Thats all i can think of so far. Hopr it helps a bit. =] Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
