"Peacock swayed like a reed on the fence a while
(with a stalwart sense of style!)"
makes me think of Matthew 11:7-8
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces.
Peacock is swaying like a reed, more concerned with the fine clothes and looking pretty, and is therefore caught in the nets and stays a slave to the circus (world/sin), not accepting the freedom Elephant (Christ) provides
