Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)

well, it is not proper English, because groans can't "know" anything, but if it was in a sentence such as "Bob said the history teacher gave him an essay on Hitler's rule, and his friends responded with knowing groans"...he probably meant that the friends 'knew what it was like to have to do an essay for that professor'..and since they were groaning...a sign of pain or distress...then it probably wasn't a good thing! hope this makes sense!

And that is the whole point. And it means so much more than that!!  In drama, it's a term for "tragic flaw".\n\nGreek is such a wonderful language.\n\nAristotle used the term quite a bit.  As did the writers of the Greek tragedies:\n\nThe Greek word that describes what many people refer to as the "tragic flaw" of the hero of Greek tragedy, "hamartia" has a complex meaning which includes "sin," "error," "trespass," as well as "missing the mark" (as in archery–missing the bull's-eye). \n\nThe "mistake" of the hero has an integral place in the plot of the tragedy. The logic of the hero's descent into misfortune is determined by the nature of his or her particular kind of hamartia. \n\nAn in-depth study of the New Testment in Greek is required reading at seminary.

Alice is correct\n\nIf I saw those words with no context, I would translate it to mean:\n"Clarity comes through pain."\n\nclaritas has a deeper meaning of being clear and bright like the light that shines through a diamond.  source: Vergil's Aeneid\n\nadvenit means to arrive come or happen\nwe get the word advent from this

Poesia tem dificuldades entre das linguas. You should study or refer to shakespeare or milton. Also you want to relate your emotions/ perceptions. An electronic dictionary will not help. Not with this.\n\nOh, by the way, damn good poetry. maravilhosa.

I suspect it's supposed to be something like "Quod quondam iterum ego vado, in profundis vorago existimo iaci" which means something like "Whichever path I travel (in the past, in the future, sometimes), I judge myself to be thrown into a profound pit."\n\nIt didn't make much sense to me in the first version…I suspect it's a bad computer translation.

This would be a lot of work to explain.  Each series of words, while they could be considered the same in meaning [up to a point], really don't mean the same.  Some are very different, some less different.  Sometimes it is a question of degree, sometimes it is a question of emphasis, and sometimes it is a question of not at all the same.\n\nFor example, "because of" strictly means "was caused by."  It is very active and direct.  The others in the series could be substituted for because of, but they don't really mean the same: owing or due to means a situation owes its existence to the existence of another thing, as a result of means more that a situation is something that develops out of another situation.\n\nThis particular series shows that people will vary their language without being overly particular as to the exact, specific meaning of the phrases they use.\n\nlearn means to acquire knowledge or skill.  know means to have a grasp in the mind of something, to see something clearly for what it is.  recognize means to grasp that something seen has been seen before.  release means to let go of.\n\nIn English, nouns can be formed from adjectives and verbs, but not adverbs, even though it might at times appear that they do.  This is a case of "changing form class."  Red is a word that can be a noun or an adjective.   Cut can be a noun, verb, or adjective [Cut the cake.  I have a cut on my finger.  Send her some cut flowers.]\n\nLearning English is a lot harder than people who grow up speaking it realize.  It must be very puzzling to people who grew up speaking some other language.  But every language has its difficulties.

It is about a lover talking about her dead lover and hoping that he/she is still out there somewhere (in heaven or hell) instead of nonexistant anymore ( he/she hopes there is life after death because he/she cannot bear the idea that his/her lover's soul that she loved so much has ceased to exist "I would rather know you alive in Hell than think your beauty is nothing now"). The lover who is still alive is speaking of her loyalty to his/her dead lover( because his/her love was strong ("But as we held faithfulness, you and I")) and the hope that they will be reuinted after death and that her dead lover will still love him/her then ("Do you ever think of me? you who died")

It can be a maturity issue, too, irrespective of the actual age of the person using the epithet.  My 16 year old daughter always tells me that I "don't understand" when the truth is that I understand just fine, I just don't agree.  "Lack of Understanding" is similar to me as "close-minded" and sounds like it comes from someone frustrated by his or her inability to change the mind of the person being spoken to in a matter about which the speaker is passionate. Passion is a feeling, feelings often calm down when maturity lends perspective.

Nobody knows, apart from Radiohead and they aren't saying anything! It's been discussed to death on lots of Radiohead messageboards though, so if you want to discuss what it could mean with fellow fans you could try one of these:

What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so." \n\n--From Hamlet (II, ii, 115-117)

I don't understand why Topher used quotation marks over the word  "tolerates."  It almost implies sarcasm.  I feel that they say they tolerate, then quietly go back into their "houses of the Lord" and laugh all the way to heaven, thinking they know the "true" path.
