I hope there is no objection if I offer my interpretation in the form of a
poem. I feel there are more things relevant to the central discussion and
this is the only way I can think of condensing it all to tolerable length.

"Dragon World"
by Charles Moyer
"...our ships, planes, wars are
perfectly irrelevant." (Robinson
Jeffers)
The casque, a fragile green armor
For life
Against the hail,
Against "a fitful sun",
Paquin, you are undone.
White gold now emerald
Bursts into black,
Goes to orange,
Contemplates the night sun,
A flying dragon in its crystal cave.
Down to earth,
Down to the ant's sure step,
Head to the ground
He reachs
To ascend.
The lowliest is not bereft
Of vision.
Nor is aware of our puny wars.
Here on a small hill
Under the pin-up moon
He builds Jerusalem's temple.
