"In the poem
restlessness = the tangled scent of red
That is 'the tangled scent of red' is a metaphor for restlessness. "
No, Erthona, those were never equated.
The line:
"I know your restlessness, the tangled scent of red. there's nothing heroic about this."
Using the "=" sign simplification, it would be:
restlessness = eagerness for violence/war
tangled = confusing/illogical/deceptive
scent of red = promise of war/appeal of violence as a solution
Erthona equation:
It doesn't make sense to Erthona = It doesn't make sense to anyone else.
