Answer:
There are two sections of the story that lend credence to the fact that Nous firebrand was the last one to be thrown during the Chief's visit.
- The third sentence in the third paragraph indicates that they took turns and that Nous turn came last because, after Nous turn, there was no other mention of any other throw. This means that all the other older warriors that thrown their flames before Nou.
- The third and fourth sentences in paragraph 4 state that everyone was happy except the older fire throwers because Nou had made them look weak and foolish.
This corroborates the evidence from the third paragraph that they had thrown their fires first and Nous fire went last.
Cheers!
The swan is a metaphor of our soul, which is timeless and ancient. The speaker wants to know where the swan is going, what is wants and what is the purpose of life. He requests our soul to go with him in knowing that God is us and the answer to “Who Am I” which was written on the wind of God’s impulse to realize Himself that blew over His being in creation’s beginning. And to attach to God deliberately on the way to know Him is the joy of loving God, similar as a bee that will cultivate and finish our sorrows by ending desire. With that connection, there’s no doubt regarding God and that forever exists.
