Regarding the last stanza of the song, I speculate that it relates to this quote of Roger Bacon (1214-1294 A.D.) I lifted from wikiquote.org. "There are in fact four very significant stumbling blocks in the way of grasping the truth, which hinder every man however learned, and scarcely allow anyone to win a clear title to wisdom, namely, the example of weak and unworthy authority, longstanding custom, the feeling of the ignorant crowd, and the hiding of our own ignorance while making a display of our apparent knowledge.". Here one might guess that power relates to "..weak and unworthy authority..", that desire to rest refers to "longstanding custom", that fear relates to "the feeling of the ignorant crowd", and that clarity of mind relates to "the hiding of our own ignorance while making a display of our apparent knowledge". |
