Trouble
Huginn: I think we had to be ravens.
Muninn: Why so?
H: If we were landbound we would have been overcome by the weight of sorrow; if we were seafast, we would have been drowned by the ubiquity of suffering.
M: You think we are the only ones who see? Surely our pain cannot be unique.
H: I spoke to the gryphon, but he shrieked mindlessly at me and went on tearing the flesh of the horses of the night. I spoke to the wyvern, but she shrieked knowingly at me and turned her face from me.
M: It is a unique slavery, and a unique guardianship. But the pain, it is for all the world and beyond.

this comment has nothing to do with the above post, of course... and yes, i do enjoy reading the stuff that goes through the alchemist's mind, he is an intellectual who holds his head up high despite his circumstances, always working for the greater good though they condemn what they do not know
