Remember, the key word there is TREASON. Fawkes & his associates were intent upon restoring the influence of the catholic church over the government through establishment of a puppet catholic monarch. In other words restoration of the power & influence of the church within the state.

Amusingly, that is rather the opposite of the stated goal of Anonymous.

Awww, i think you are missing my point (deliberately, of course. You know, for effect.)

You know, the penchant for Guy Fawkes masks at these things, and on Guy Fawkes Day! Too serendipitous to be ignored.

Those lines (the poem in the OP) were the first lines spoken in the film V for Vendetta as you probably know.

Yes, ol' Guido was a bit of a madman, going, as was his habit, just a bit too far. If I recall correctly, he felt let down by James I, who had promised (or at least hinted at) being more tolerant of Catholics.

As for V, while he wanted vengeance for what was done to him, personally, his bigger aim was personal, individual freedom for all.

Let's just say that ... I can see meanings that extend your words beyond the direct intent in your original expression. Developing these additional harmonies & dissonances enriches the entire work. :angel:

Words are music, and so too are meanings. :)

I absolutely loved that scene in Amodeus ... a total spirit of play trumping all that hard work!
